Looks impressive Ray, though I'm not sure all of your masking has been removed in those pictures, not yet.

I do like the variation that I see in the greys.

 

Correct Robert, I have left the walkways masked up as I did not want to tone them down at this stage. Once I have finished the detail paint the rest of the masking will come off.

Lots of loveley subtle greys there Ray.

Out of curiosity, how many builds do you run at one time?

Ahhh, too many!  At the moment there are 3 active builds on my very cluttered bench. Once the decals go on the AP-3 I will back to work on the P-8

 

Just dropped some decals on a shelf queen from 2016

Some in progress decalling shots, the eagle-eyed will see some of the yellowed decals which I will have to remove and replace. The Chimira ( the fish thing!) on the tail is too small for the time period being modeled so it will also come off and be replaced by a larger one.

Thanks Rob, the yellowed decals are the rescue arrows around the cockpit and in the first image and couple 'cut here in emergency' boxes forward of the fuselage roundel.

 

I have removed them and painted them over. Unfortunately, I had a spillage accident on the right wing during the touch up that needs repainting, so close to finishing! I thought I might have had it finishd last night until that happened
