Hi, your Flying boat jet fighter came out great dispite being difficult to build :goodjob: The decals seem to be really nice, there is no trace of carrier film visible (crucial on a metallic finish). Did you seal them with a clearcote as I would imagine this would kill the sheen of the metal colour?

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers

thank you. Decals are sealed with Testors Sealer for Metalizer.

I can tell you that the real one wasn't much better, when it arrived at the (then) Southampton Hall of Aviation for display (1993 if memory serves). I was a cadet from the local unit, sent to buy T-cut to sort out the paint, and when I got back I remember watching the squadron boss hammering screws into the wing/fuselage join 😳
