Well:
I did not give up on this one!!!! I just took a few days off, showed my now 4 month old son the box again and let him decide. When his eyes lit up and that smile appeared, I just said screw it-I'll fill, sand and sweat the best I can and hang it from the ceiling. I loved the way it came out due to a couple of reasons. I've never built a RAF fighter before and needed to free hand airbrush the camouflage. BUT, the &%^& decals silvered! I used several microscale gloss coats, placed them in the curing room and still they silvered. I have had great results using MM gloss instead of future or acrylic so I should have stayed with these. Oh well, I love the help and recommendations I received here. Thanks to all for your encouragement.
