The fuselage fascist marking and the house of savoy marking on the tail are paper cut supplie in the kit. |

The decals are a combination of kit and after market CAM decals. |

After touching up a coat of Future was sprayed overall and application of the decals can begin. I applied Micro decal Sol as I layed down each decal. |

The fuselage band was easily done but the tail cross took a lot of measuring and cuting small strips of Drafting tape. Even using Drafting tape tiny dots of paint came up which had to be touched up. |

Once the upper and lower surfaces are dry (overnight) the white fuselage band and the Italian tail cross is masked and painted white. |

| I use Tamiya Thinner. I purchase the large X20A 250 ml plastic jars. I keep two jars handy, one is dirty thinner for cleaning brushes and airbrush, the other is clean thinner for thinning paint and a final cleaning of the airbrush. I'm constantly adding thinner to the first two from a third clean jar of thiiner. I usually have several jars of thinner on hand. I've never used isopropyl-Alcohol, but I've been told it works very well, |

| Nice Jerry. Do you use Tamiya thinner or just Isopropyl-Alcohol for thinning.I got so many tamiya paints, that I'm considering trying my still in the box Badger for the P-39. |

When the upper surfaces were dry, after masking with Drafting Tape the lower surfaces were airbrushed with Tamiya XF-29 Medium Grey lightened 35% with White. |
