Getting close to that finish line! I'm sure it will be great when you get it to your liking.

I noticed on your photo of the bottom of the plane you had a cup with drinkng straws in it. What do you use those for?

At one point, I used them as the base for 1/32 engine cylinders.

Thanks for answering my question. The paint job looks great!

Decals are printed. Markings are basic, with just a D identifier and national markings.

Looks good!

I assume the black squares are for the side windows? I chose to leave those off for the sake of simplicity.

You are correct.

That looks great! I love the desert scheme! I'm not used to seeing a Marauder like that. Nice work, Lou.

Thank you Jordan I sprayed the gloss coat and will place the decals in a few days, and them, followed by a matt coat.

Great Marauder, Lou!

It's amazing how even a few simple decals really give that finishing touch. I'm glad to see it cross the finish line!

Thank you Jordan. it was a struggle for me.
