Allans 1/12 FW11B MFH
VERY nice kit. One VERY critical operation is the painting of the main body.
The blue is decals in the kit - but it will look 100 times better if you paint.
And this is where you hit the trouble. I used a printed copy of the decals as a kind of "template"
to figure out the very complex color scheme. I think the result is very good.
Started to put on deecals. Not the best decals I have tried - but they did the job.
But such a big body part with 4 different colors is a match for all modelers.

Nice work Allan. That colour scheme takes some masking but looks so much better with paint. I've got decals on my 1/20 now and it's resting waiting for some Top Coat which is on a slow boat from Hong Kong.
