Daywalker Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Nice choice John, where are those decals from? Haven't seen many Korean War decal sets aside from the AIMS set but none of those really spoke to me. I like the markings you have chosen! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are kit decals from the last Tamiya issue for the Korean war a/c kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was already 1/2 done when I got back to it it should go fairly fast baring any OOPS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
