After managing to destroy the decals on my Dolphin build i decided to try something else for the campaign.
I chose the 1/32 Special hobby Tempest Mk.V kit with a few extras, i really dont know how long it will take me and im still waiting on the nose correction set from Barracuda but heres the start up pictures

Hi James,
I managed to damage the tail fin decals and the Q code on one side, sadly it looks a bit of a mess. Got to think through my next move....Tom

Step back, take a breath and relax. IT's all fixable.

One of the tings that I would like to warn you about on this kit, Tom is the wheel wells need real good fitment or else the wings halves will not come together well. I had the Barracuda cowl kit and it is nice and really fits better than some. However the prop will really require some attention also. I really like this kit and I am sure that you will do an outstanding job on this build.

Thank you for the warning Paul, i had read a review that mentioned the wheel wells but i had not heard anything about the barracuda prop so i appreciate the heads up
