I thought this was going to be an "easy kit". It was from the 1980s. Decals were yellowed so I got some custom decals. Ended up having to paint most of the yellow striping myself. If you've ever tried to airbrush yellow paint - then you know my pain.
Well done. Yellow on/around blue is tricky. Heck, yellow on/around pretty much any color is tricky. 👍👍👍
Thanks Mark! You have no idea how many times I had to re-mask and re-paint because of yellow-on-blue overspray and then blue-on-yellow overspray. Needless to say, I had to hurry and finish - otherwise I could still be at my model bench airbrushing right now LOL.
@@ScotterzModelz Scott, oh I have some idea... Have I ever told you my stories about spraying red around masked off white? 50 shades of pink !!!!😉
Cool video thanks for sharing!
Thanks!

Nice to see the old models being built and what a great job on a Monogram classic. The decals look like they could have been a bit difficult? Love it and it makes me want to build one, I have the Blue Angels A-4 Skyhawk somewhere but I am not sure if it's Monogram.
Thank you and thanks for your comment! Yeah, the original box decals were a risk so I got some custom ones. I still ended up painting the yellow stripes myself. Surprisingly, for a 40-year-old kit, it went together pretty good with some minimal filler and sanding. I'm thinking about doing a F-4 Phantom Blue Angel now.
@@ScotterzModelz Just checked my stash and she is from Esci back in 1979. You did a great job sir.
