theplasticsurgeon Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Humbrol 18 isn't fiery enough. I'll need to do a second coat with some red added. I'll do photos before repainting - but my camera isn't great at colours and artificial light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 So yesterday I applied the nation insignia decals:And today I fitted the canopy.Bit of a hicough as the pilots were too tall. Removed them - surgically shortened them, and reftted.Sealed the canopy over them - and framed it. Remaining decals next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
