I see Callie has a decal sheet published for this model but her roundels are also wrong - the coloured ones she is showing are from the pre-1965 era. Below is a photo of the correct style for this particular plane.
If you are getting the decals from Callie, the actual plane serial # is 188734 and not 188967. I believe the 188967 number was only used in the original graphic illustrations. I plan on modelling this plane as well but want to have it in hand so I can get Callie the precise measurements as well as some other corrections/additions including the ones noted above.

Thanks for pointing that out, Uscanuck1xa! It really is a striking scheme the more I look at it. I have some ideas on how to mask off then paint the darker gradient, but overall the thin lines all over will be such a challenge to mask over those curved surfaces. Times like this I wish I had a waterslide decal printer to play with at home.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

It is nice looking. It is too bad that often on a lot of RCAF models, they don't get the correct roundels for the period. The ones on the model pictured from Jet Power Norway are just wrong.

Please send the info to Callie so she can correct accordingly. She has already made several other minor adjustments based on my feedback, so I'm sure she will be happy to adjust based on yours too.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Hate to be mr negative but I'm thinking they'll be a delay of some sort. Just my luck. Despite me choosing the most expensive quickest shipping option I bet they'll still be issues. Just hope I dont get hit massively with customs again. Such a pita that. And a rip off. I've already paid my shipping. Why should I have to pay someone to rip open my parcel, invade my personal space by inspecting the contents only to then likely not properly repackage it again. Joke.
Guess it'll only get worse when we leave the EU

Hi James, very nice job indeed. I have a question concerning the manual. It recommends high rates for the first flights instead of low, which is very unusual for me. Is that correct and if so, what is the reason for that. Normally it is vice versa.
And, is there a recommended mixing for the elevators with flap extension. There is nothing mentioned in the manual. Thx
