This project is devoted to the non CO aircraft of VAW-115 Circa 2013 while still deployed at Atsugi Japan.
#601 sports a unusual decoration albeit quite less flashy than #600 flagship (readily available from commercial decal manufacturer.
#602 and #603 have the standard (boring) scheme.
#604 is missing from the project but I can custom add it for you if required.
The project is made of a combination of a decal sheet printed on inkjet decal paper and protected with a gloss coat and a mask sheet. Items are redundant so you can pick what works best for you.
National insignia’s and stencils should be taken from the kit’s decal sheet.
Corrections:
The Kinetic NAVY decals are too large. This has been corrected
The Kinetic main wing walkways are too short, It has been corrected.
Stencils for the propeller blades numbering have been added.
Instructions:
- Walkways can be used from decals or can be painted with the masks. Best way is to use the masks and apply texturized paste inside the masks then paint in your dark grey colour. Masks for the outline are provided as well and should be painted black.
- VAW-115 squadron logo should be first masked and painted in white before the decal is applied.
- Different style of NF code (for wings and tails) and font for carrier are provided.
This allows to make different time configuration of the same aircraft, check your sources and references.
