John MulhallLooking great Stefan. It is one of my favorite builds. One place to be aware of is when you slip the canopy into place. Once in place, it is hard to remove again if the front windshield is also in place.

Stefan Fraundorfer AuthorThanks John for the helpful tip. Jürgen and Rui, I hope you like the Jug. Here are some new pictures: The thick Tamiya decals are applied. I had to help them adhere to the panel lines – decalsoftener alone wasn't enough. The decals are already protected under a layer of glossy clear varnish.

Stefan Fraundorfer AuthorThank you John and Thomas for your kind comments. I call the "Little Chief" finished. The Tamiya kit is easy to build, but the decals are very thick. I had to do some work to make the panel lines visible.
