The kit decals were a problem, with two of the stars staying wrinkled and
the scoreboard, Miss Burma, and the tail serials were silvered badly even
through final attempts
using Wathers Solvaset and even Tamiya Extra Thin Cement.
Decals from a second kit and an ALPS printed bomb tally eventually laid
the problem to rest. I had
to do some more work with the fit of the nose transparency after looking
at this photo.
