Thanks for the encouragement!
I am afraid I have some bad news...
I have messed up the paint job on th plane as well as the decals, and it has come to the point where the detail in the plastic is lost... I would try and strip the paint, but the problem is that the cockpit is still good so I am unsure what to do. I feel like just tossing it, and restarting...
On top of that, I find that I have not been able to model for a while because other interests have kept me busy.
I would really like to get back to building, maybe I can do some this weekend, but for now the A-7 is at a stalemate and I'll just work to get the other project off the bench.
Anthony.
