Spookytooth Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Thanks @giemme, @Nikolay Polyakov, and @The Spadgent, work proceeds, slowly. Tonight I got the upper surface done. Not many but fun, (the drawings don`t match the model. Anyhow. I am going to let them dry overnight before tackling the underside(s). All comments welcome.

Spookytooth Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thank you @giemme, @Nikolay Polyakov and @Vaastav, getting there. Right, I have been able to get the rest of the decals on (so far). Underside. Port side. And Starboard side. That leaves just a few small ones to do on doors etc, To be honest, I would of painted some of them if I had realized , They would of fitted better.. Anyhow off to bed for a couple of days to let them all dry before sealing. All comments welcome. Simon, 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and that is always my approach - paint as much as possible - but you know I'm biased 'cause I hate decals .... She looks great anyway Ciao 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Thanks @Vaastav, @giemme, @Nikolay Polyakov, and @The Spadgent. Well, folks not a lot done due to other commitments . But after finishing off the Christmas shopping I managed to add the decals to the drop tanks. Hopefully once this storm has passed I may be able to seal those + the ones on the aircraft with a coat of satin varnish. Until then. All comments welcome.
