Beautiful! Love the photography, too!

Love trainers, too.

Thanks, Don.

I obviously should have ‘ironed’ the backdrop first…but I was racing to get the pics while the light was still decent. [*-)]

Greg,

That’s a great looking T-6. Really well done. I have a newbie question. How did you apply the “978” to the nose, especially the left side, where it has to conform to the air scoop? Do you cut the decal and apply it? I’m just curious and would have zero idea how to attempt something like that.

Thanks

Pete

Thanks, Pete.

Actually, it’s all down to Revell on the side decal. It’s supplied on the kit sheet in (3) parts, with the instructions clearly directing the builder to apply the ‘wraparound’ part (surrounding the scoop) first…and only then apply the separate parts of the ‘7’ and ‘8’—which are both supplied suitably ‘stretched’ to fit the scoop. It’s actually one of the neater decal design jobs I’ve seen…certainly for a non-high-end kit! Kudos to Revell for having taken the trouble to work it all out.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Greg. Sounds like it’s so easy a caveman, or a newbie, can do it
