Its not really good, but I think it is for a first timer making a skill lvl 2 plane.

PS. Progress since then-
                   Everything has been added except for roosterpit glass and antennae. I need to paint camo and add decals as well.

Nice! we use the same paint :D

[SailorMan]

xD. Thanks. I gotta do camo still. Otherwise its mostly done. Any tips for decals that you gotta soak in water? Or do you think I shouldnt put them on? Oh and did I mention that I got a P-61 Black Widow to do as well :D :D :D :D :D?

[battlebrain]

[SailorMan]

No, it says how to do it. But like info/ tips.  How long do the stupid things gotta soak for? And im guessing they can fold. Oh and another question. If its a letter should I cut it out? EX: The letter K. I cut out the K< Part?

cut around them like not exactly out just make it a circle put in water for about 30 seconds and place the decal without taking the paper off where you want it, then the paper should slide from underneath the decal

[SailorMan]

Ok. . .?

Should be done tomorrow? Oh and right before i did my first decal my dad said to stop and wait. He used to do models and he will help me.

!! I broke the nose gear on my mig in half, ill just do the gear up version...

[SailorMan]

Oh and did you read this?

That sucks, but I got an idea for you to make it work. If you cut off a piece of the frame of the plastic thing holding all the parts for the airplane (EX: next to the left wing of my stuka in my picture), you can glue it to the broken piece, or tape it with modeling tape. This would be a permenant solution, b/e it will probably not fit back into the plane D:

Oh holy crap, its done! I stayed cooped up in my garage until 10:30 PM! ITS DONE! YAY!
