Most of the parts are on except the main rotor and an antenna on the right side. I will decal it next then add the main rotor and antenna.

That’s turned out really nice. Looked like a good, trouble free build too.

Thanks, some minor issues but nothing major.

That’s the biggest challenge on dark one colour builds… Keep the decals from silvering…

That is quite true, and it seems to trouble more than one person on this site. I never was a big fan of Verlinden, but their dry transfers (when they were in register) were a great item. Perhaps more companies could look into this where their application would be on a relatively smooth surface.

While I agree, not sure the manufacturing supports it. Archer moved away from transfers because the raw materials weren’t being produced.
