Awww you are too kind

But for me is a great achievement to be able to actually complete such an old and crappy kit.

As for the rest of the squadron, I intend to make a full flight, I have 2 ESCI or ERTL kits and I hope they are easier to do, while I have a Roden kit wich is hopeless and if I want to do it I have to build 2.I will get to them once I dump my girlfriend and I am free to make kits again, it's just that I have to set up an assembly line to build all them at once. I have thought that given the copious amount of rigging, and the vast amounts of drilling and supergluing involved and the two color scheme, is better to build them, first, paint the undersides CDL, then do all the rigging, and then end applying the PC10 coat.
Given the non repeteable nature of custom mixes of the color, is best to apply it last. CDL can always be retouched with a brush since it's not visible.

Oh and just saw there's a thread on the Roden SE5a, gonna check it out! *sounds of scurrying feet*
