baby moons and headers?????

Hub caps and exhaust headers if i'm not mistaken. :rotf

Haha,, I was thinking that but thought it might be something special applied to aircraft that I had not heard of before!!

:rotf

Hey gang! I'm waiting on shiny parts to dry, so I thought I'd see how much trouble I could get into here. :laugh:
So far, things see pretty straightforward, but masking may become an issue. :pinch:

The kit fits quite tightly and will require very little filler, but it will be tricky in a few spots. Now I remember why I don't do aircraft. :laugh:

Chris dug through his spare decals, so IF I make that far, maybe the stickers won't be needed.

Thanks for stopping by! :pilot
