Mini craft/Hasegawa 1/32nd scale TA-4J

A friend asked if I would build this for him back in 2022. I thought it was a decent kit for its age. This is the first model I’ve done in a training paint scheme. Some areas that needed attention were the intakes, the landing gear, and a warped canopy. For the intakes, I used very thin Evergreen polystyrene to create the intank trunks. I replaced the landing gear with Scale Aircraft Conversion. The canopy was warped slightly. I left it cracked open while they were on the Taxi way.
I loved the look of this paint scheme so much, I bought another kit for me. Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to find the Zotz decal sheet with these markings, and in 1/32 Scale. If anyone had a sheet of these they might be willing to part with, please send me a message.

Very nicely done. I’ve got a budding trainer collection - 5 complete and 7 in the stash. I did my T-28 in that scheme. It is striking. I have a Hasegawa 1/48 TA-4J I’ll be doing in this same scheme.
Great looking model and base.
