Hi together,
I was able to buy a Thunder Fighter produced by Corgi. The colouring and also the decals were not as seen in the movie. Therefore I decided to give the fighter a new look.
First I removed the front shield - whatever it should serve for I did not understand. Then I removed the front stand as I tought it is enough to stand on the three rolls and furthermore it looks cooler. For the removal I had to open the fighter with a drill. Then I removed the delviered decals. Next step was to colour the fighter with the original colours, as the wings e.g. never were seen yellow before. (See also the pictures.) -Decals downloaded, prepared and brought to the fighter - finished.
Now I am happy with my purchase as it looks like a good replica (for me).
Was fun and worth doing.
Best regards
