Here's a model of my "original 80's" issue of the Revell F89 Scorpion.  It is finished with SNJ, and Black enamel.

Unable to find any suitable Stars ( until about 4 months after completion, I saw some in a store that I had previously checked out ) to use as stencils or masks, I made a Star stencil out of some clear plastic, cut out two or three  sizes, sprayed some decal sheet black and stenciled hundreds of stars, picking out what I thought were the best, I cut around them and applied 97 stars to the black areas, yellow stripes are strips of yellow painted decal sheet.
