    Peter, thanks for your comments - Funny you mention Reskit.  I had barely heard of them but did a bit of online research so ordered the Reskit missiles (Sidewinders and Sparrows) and the inboard pylons as well (why not if I'm going this far!) from BNA and they shipped in a matter of hours!!  Wow.  Got a few other bits I'll add on here when they arrive.  Still looking for bulged tyres, however.

    Here are the Speed Hunter stencils.  WTH did I get myself into?   These pages are just the relevant pages for MY build.  There are other pages I omitted but will put into a review write-up I'll do.  The good news is the instruction pages are incredibly well broken down into sections.  I guess you could say that it also breaks down a HUGE task into more manageable bites?  Yeah, wishful thinking!!

    The sheet has both white and black markings, indicating which to use over the various camo colors on the aircraft.  I may need a month just to get the stencils onto the aircraft - especially considering the gloss coat, letting it fully cure, then the sealing coat, and the washes... Oh my...

    This will be the most-stenciled aircraft I've ever done.....(Astute observation of the obvious...)

    Tedious, yes, but it still looks like fun on one of my favorite aircraft.

    Thanks Rob, I just need to hear back from Tamiya and then formulate a plan. It's looking as if I'll be doing a combo of decals and masks (Maketar) and work my way through it. 

    Funny thing is and I know we have talked about this, as decaling is one of my most favorite parts of a build - could be changing.

     

    So I give you a ton of cree meatballs all cracked and look like crap.  Meanwhile,  give up and weather it in.  Okay, could've would've  and should've... go get them, as I just immediately wen to plan B.  And that's why love this site.
