I finished the Scissor Wing today, and I must say this was a fun vintage build. The decals are old but they went on pretty well considering the age. I do not put anything on my vintage decals because I had some unpredictable results in the past. The thing with old decals is once they are in place it is best to leave them alone, you are not going to get many chances of moving the decals without breaking them. Since the face card picture is not the exact built, I used the new version face card for decal placement. The new released kit face card picture is actually the old model and not the newer version with plastic parts. As you can see the Brodak did a great job filling the grain, no fillers or primer was used on this build. I painted with light coats of old Krylon white doing my best to keep the weight down. In the end the final weight without pod is 1.7oz, with pod 2.2oz. The new version I built comes in at 2.1 oz without pod and 2.6 oz with pod. The vintage version was more of a challenge to build but well worth it in the end.
