jackroadkill Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Tonight's mini-progress report: Main decals are on. They're by Cartograf, so are far and away the best bits of the kit. In fact, I shall keep the remaining Balkankreutzen for another project as they're too good to just chuck in a box and forget. My chosen method is to apply the main decals and then leave the stencilling for a day or two to let the bigger ones settle, so that "joy" is yet to come. The canopy is also painted and on, and under the masking there's a pilot (who had quite a serious amount of surgery to get him to fit, I have to say). I've just applied Micro-Sol in the picture below, so the decals might look a bit ragged. It's coming onto the home straight now, so I'd better hurry up and find those damned stands, really. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 This one is looking splendid. Nice work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackroadkill Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Okay, going to call this one done. There are things I would do (will do) differently next time but overall I'm quite pleased with it. One thing that irks me is that there's no aerial mast on the tail and I didn't notice this before painting, hence not having scratched one up and why there's no aerial wire. RFI and post in the GB gallery to follow. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dennis; I'm going to do another at some point, I think. I like the look of the new A & A kit, so I might give one of those a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
