Well, the Thunderbolt is done. The Aeromaster Decals went on very well and no issues with them. I left the Aluminum glossy with a coat of Pledge Floor Care and hit the wheel bays and anti-glare panel with some Vallejo Matte. I then added the canopy glass and fitted all the nav lights and antennae. The markings depict a post-war F-47N from the 199th Fighter Squadron of the Hawaii Air National Guard. I did make a lens for the gunsight as the kit piece was kind of bland. This was a really fun build and nice to do a straightforward prop kit.
