Well small update decals fitted and funnel stays also glued down some of the main bits. And started painting up the ships boats Stay Safe beefy

Nightmare with the decals Rob I have just added the Atlantic hull numbers to my build and had no issues I use Micro sol and set for my decals with a base of klear and top coat followed by a satin varnish. The rest of the build looks great will have to make sure I remember that tip on the Corticene deck fittings. Stay Safe beefy

Thanks again Gent's for the kind words Small update most of the main paint done few touch ups to sort and dry fitted most of the painted items will be putting a coat of clear on the hull to take the pennant numbers and draft marks but before I did that i started to tidy the hull colour demarcation lines by using a fine sanding stick this started to wear through in some areas where the painted plating was so this showed through some of the hull red I had applied before repainting a dark grey. So this is the start of the weathering trying to get the worn look but not to over the
