I usually use PVA mixed with liquid gravity poured into the cavity as necessary, stuck onto a lump of blu-tak and left overnight to set. Filling any void forward of the main undercarriage will help to prevent a tail-sitter.

I have the 1/72 Cozmic Models TOS shuttle and will use this idea to take care of the print lines, thank you.

Looking very smart in spite of the issues you experienced with the decals. 👍

I have found a that a coat or two of Microscale Liquid Decal Film is a definite help with older, more fragile decals, The Max Decals I have used in the past have benefitted from a coat but even with the liquid decal film they still require careful handling when being used. -
A quick internet search gave a number of hits: https://www.jadarhobby.pl/italeri-2783-148-tornado-gr1ids-p-55849.html https://www.kingkit.co.uk/shop.php?search=kitfinder&search_term=tornado&brand=&cat=&scale=1^48 https://www.dominomodel.com/en/p/22816/tornado-gr1-ids-gulf-war/ Hope that helps on your quest.

Also mentioned on Scalemates that the Zvezda 1/144 Boeing 757 is due for release by Revell in 2022 with Iron Maiden decals. I wonder if they are going to give makings for G-0JIB for the 2008 tour or G-STRX for the 2011 tour(or maybe both???, please Mr.Revell) https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-03826-boeing-757-200-iron-maiden--1383981

I am using the one from the Sea Harrier FA2 conversion for the ESCI/Italeri kit that I picked up years ago. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/whirlybits-wba-72017-sea-harrier-fa2-conversion-kit--187380

I'm currently working on the same thing myself, 1/72 Matchbox cockpit section & canopy, Airfix fuselage/wings/tail & resin nose from a Sea Harrier FA2 conversion set. Planning to add RWR and wing tip launch rails like the T2. Thinking of a 'what-if' RAuxAF scheme

Good morning Vincent,
Thank you for looking. Its the Hurricane I particularly wanted to do. However it was really a IId (they had 2) so I would need to modify the 115 thats on the sheet as I need 94 or 95.
I've had an offer for the SAM sheet which has all the numbers but I'd still be interested in aquiring the Max sheet.
Regards and thank you again.

Thank you, IIRC I used Vallejo Model Air Orange(71.083) as a base with a coat of Mr.Color Fluorescent Red(C171) on top to give it a bit of vibrancy.

I am using Mr.Color C309 FS34079 on my IAC Warrior or Mr.Hobby Aqueous H309 would be an alternative.

I have never had occasion to brush it on but it is pretty foolproof for airbrushing. I would suggest to try it out on a test subject before you commit it to your latest masterpiece and to go with light, thin coats.

As above, I have had no problem using W&N Galeria Matt & Satin varnish over a number of paint types including enamels, Humbrol amongst them, but I make sure that they are well cured before doing so. Also I ensure the W&N get at least 24 hours to cure before going near it.

According to Max Decals IAC update 2004 set(MAX7216) the overall blue is FS15177(Xtracolor PRU Blue being reasonable match) note that the cheatlines are included as a decal on the sheet if you can find a copy.
