Slammers will do nicely!

Very striking colour scheme,  and it suits the XL.

Really?
Other people I've heard from at other places said it looks ridiculous.

Yeah, but they're probably 'Real Worlders' and don't have the insight that we here do.

The blue does look pretty bright, or pure, in the latest photos. Not what I'd immediately recognize as a camo colour. I'm curious to see what the rest of the decals do to it.

Prototypes can be in some pretty non camo colors sometimes.

These others are wrong. They have obviously never heard of the F-2. I think it's looking really good.

It's bright in the photos due to the camera flash.
As for more decals, I need to buy more or hope some of the members of my local model club might have spares I can use.
I'll be seeing my local model club on the 14th.

Don't listen to those negative vibes. Oh, and build another and paint it yellow. Or pink....

Just take a lesson from ericr and Tophe. It's your model, build it the way you want!

I only have 50th Anniversary markings for something on F-2A's so not really appropriate for a test aircraft.

What's the 2nd Rule? And what was the 1st Rule? Did I miss that?

They're right above your post, under my signature in my last post.................

and this one too.

Anyway, getting back on track..............
Sent emails out to all the members of my local modeling club reminding them of the club's Christmas meeting this coming weekend on the 14th.
As I was writing, I also asked them if any members had extra F-16 decals they could spare that they didn't want.
I hope somebody has some so I can get this model done before the end of the year.
