Very nice results so far, No.1! :-cool

I did just a little bit on the Raiden and Zero this weekend, then had to make room on the bench for a different project. After I pushed all the stuff out of the way I set these projects up like the scrapman did after WWII......

Yes, that line-up was inspired by a whole series of photos taken at Walnut Ridge, Arkansas during the scrapping operation. I've been all over the airfield through the years and I've actually stood in virtually the exact spot where this picture was taken. It was the Motor Pool/Motor Repair area during WWII and the final resting spot for hundreds of single-engine aircraft during the salvage period.

You are right, Scott and Daniel really work great, I am just weak support  :(

I fight with decals. I am not sure about situation today but this old decals have coat of something over decals and you need really hot water over it and to smudge surface with finger to release decal from base surface. Decals need to be trimmed later as well to put solvent over it.
