FatFlyHalf Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Okay I admit it. I cheated for this one. Having had a nightmare with the invasion stripes decals I decided to omit them. So I now present the aircraft as it may have been on the days before the order to paint black and white invasion stripes was promulgated. Here is the evidence. It's a great little kit, I just wish I had done it justice. Next time I'll paint the stripes on given the advice and guidance from fellow Britmodellers !

GREG DESTEC Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Looks good to me 👍 I never use the invasion stripes decals. I can never get them to wrap around the model. Have a practice painting them on an old kit to gain confidence. Cheers Greg 🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 A halfway house is to paint the required areas white, then cut out the black stripes and apply them individually. This solves most of the fit problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I agree with Greg. It can be easier painting the stripes. Nice job though.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Yes if you want to keep your sanity, leave invasion stripe decals in the box ,always paint . A fine looking model well done 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire 123 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Top job, and even though it looks a bit bland without the stripes, it is still a very nice model and one to be proud of. Riley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
