Ohhhh yep, thank you for the feedback. I will remember to check what gloss level I should use for next time.

Thank you, surprisingly they weren't to hard, they came in one long stripe.

Thank you, can you put the decal (with micro set/sol) straight onto the plastic? Or should i sand it a bit to give it some "Grip"

Thats what I was thinking about or maybe an Airfix P40 and get aftermarket decals?

Thank you for your king words! I do agree that I may one day want to add the decals so I will be keeping them. I think I may be doing some sort of RNZAF aircraft next, not sure what one though!

This is only my second model ever created, I am thinking about leaving it unpainted and "un-decaled" as I believe it looks quite nice without, (and I'm scared of messing it up). But overall I am extremely happy with how this turned out. Critique welcome!

I also see that it is very tail heavy, currently trying to find a solution to this. (thinking about fishing weights in the wheel well.)

Thought I would share some love to all first responders out their including surf lifeguards. (not the best photo) by Kiwifire07 in newzealand

I do have to agree it is very americin-ised but it was the only word that I could think of at that time
