Finished the Academy 1/72 P-47D with the “Eileen” markings. First one to finish in a few years, but I did lose the wheels. Not sure where they went to as the were still attached to the sprue, but can’t find 'em. Let me know your thoughts. The checker board decals, vertical stabilizer and invasion stripes were horrible. Ended up pre-painting the checkerboard area white as well as the vertical stabilizer stripe after I removed the decal. The decals over all were poor. Didn’t settle down no matter how much micro-sol and -set I used. Next time I’ll use aftermarket decals. Made the seat belts as well from masking tape that was painted.
