RancheroSteve Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Calling it done! Simple maybe, but not an easy one. Tricky multi-color paint scheme. Kit came without decals, made those myself with inkjet decal paper. Bubble top and fans were un-useable, so I substituted a Plastruct dome and made the fans from plastic stock. As is often the case, the photos show most of the imperfections . . .
