still need to install the trailing LG struts but I think the hard part is done..well - until it's time to mask and paint it anyway

Kevin, I've used Callie's "decals" on the P-51D, A-26, F-11F-1, the F-14 and F-16. You can take a look, but they're mostly pretty flat surfaces. They do work well, but as said, they stick quickly. Her directions help a bit, but be careful. It's sure looking good. BTW - After my 2 P-51s, masking tape has become 2nd nature.

I just went back an looked at the Gilmore picture. All the decals there should be no problem. Not sure what you are doing on the cowling. Would relief cuts work?

Oh yeah - the picture I put up in my hangar here is of the no cowling or pre-cowling version. I have since decided to add the cowling as a switchable option. The cowling is a nightmare of compound curves for the rather large transfers that go on either side of it. I might just decide to paint it instead. Thanks for the feedback, I greatly appreciate it.

Been following this build on YouTube and wondering if you forgot to post part 14a. This is looking great and I picked up a few tips from your vids. Thanks

14a was uploaded to the channel at the same time as 14b however, it is a much longer vid so it was still processing when my laptop went into sleep mode...where it has died. I have to take it in for a recovery effort as this failure is beyond my ability to repair. Since both my pc and the old laptop have departed I am unable to post videos to youtube for now. Hopeful I can recover from this sooner rather than later..

Sorry to hear about your computers. I am looking forward to 14a as I want to see how you approach the fillets.

managed to get the laptop working again here - the video's that were lost have been re-uploaded and should be viewable soon. I hope the 14a vid includes the information you are looking for - if not, let me know what else I can show or tell you that will help.

Thanks. I will check on Monday.
