Done that a few times. Convinced myself that I "must" have the particular markings I want in the numerous boxes of transfers, only to find  :banghead:
Exactly the issue I had earlier today..this SPG thing I'm building was going to be American..nope..it's now German   :banghead:

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Decent progress this weekend.  Figured out I actually did have the required decals for a 45-46 era Marine machine. 



Next up, seal the decals and paint on some Downfall invasion stripes. Thinking just a single white stripe on each wing as I did with my Downfall RAAF Hornet. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

That's what I'm thinking of for my Tiger Force aircraft  :thumbsup:

Beautiful. One of these days, I need to invite myself over, sit around and drink 6-8 of your beers, and watch you work ! Your builds, to me, are just incredibly well done, and so realistic. Oh, and afterwards we can eat dinner  :thumbsup:

While that sounds quite the afternoon, I fear very little modeling would get done.  😆
