Is the nose paint or decal. If paint was it freehand or pencil and line or how. Looks really symmetrical.

Nose is mixed, line is decal and two dots are painted, I made a template and spray with airbrush one by one. It was easy-ish as both dots are going on little fixings for gun holder.

Hi,

I'm working on the same model with my kids, sadly the instruction was lost last year in a flooding. Would you, or anyone else be so kind and scan me a PDF version of it ? Or does anyone know where I can find it? Tried the manufacturer but it's taking forever. Thanks in advance.

I'm late, as usual, Maciej. Sorry.
Very nice model, wonderful painting and I love the figures: detailed and expressive without being "too painted" (sorry for the less-than-technical wording ).
