Thanks guys. Trey it was looking at a Raiden you built a while ago that tempted me to try thesalt.
I think the faded paint looks good too.
As I mentioned at the start of this thread the decal sheet looked pretty dodgy on this kit, I bought it from eBay so it could be quite old. Anyway I attempted to apply the
decals last night and it was a bit of a disaster, many of them disintegrated as soon as they hit the water and the ones I did manage to get on are rigid and will not sit nice at all no matter how much micro-sol I use, I will look for some replacements online tonight, meanwhile this build will come to a standstill.
I've got a little 1/144 jet I'm also building so that will keep me busy for now.
