That Stratos looks great, I am actually busy with the same kit, started on the chassis myself and been doing all the prep work on the body.
In the photo your chassis looks satin black? Also, are you going to paint the 'engine' sections they call for being silver?
How are you going to paint the window trim with all the decals on, will you do this after you have clear coated?
Another question, with the louvre section on the rear above the engine, did you glue that all in place before painting? I am uncertain what I am going to do about it so maybe you can give me some pointers.
I hope my paint and decals will come out as good as yours, I look forward to seeing more of your progress
