Ok I'veย  got over the hang over sorted ,the decals are done , I've just dabbed microsol on them,some went down well , some unfortunatelyย  shattered, i spent a lot of time putting them back together , I'm hoping the topcoats and washes will hide the breaks

What a trooper!

Forcing oneself to battle through the red wine haze to produce such super results. I've noticed there is a sweet spot when modelling and drinking, unfortunately for me it's usually to late........

ย 

The red "keep off" areas atop the radiators look to have gone down nicely, always the likeliest of the decals to be problematic I used to find.

ย 

Nice work

๐Ÿ˜‹ a sweet spot indeed, and like you say it'sย  difficult to know when you're in it ,or past it , those radiator decals stuckย  like the proverbial "doggy do" to a blanket. The tamiya ones wouldn't have stood a chance, they're as thick as cardboardย

I generally find if I'm flying something around the room I'm probably "past it".ย ย

Perhaps if it was an AFV but otherwise I'm doing that in celebration of finally getting enough bits together to resemble an aircraft model :blush:

I'veย  finally got round to finishing off the mossie after a gentle couple of nuges by @Jasper dog, cheers darryl, decals were very slightly better than useless ,the starboard side letters breaking into about 5 pieces, thanks to all who've liked and commentedย ย 

Cheers all

Well done Glynn, another cracking result despite the decal issues.

I really like the variation in tone and the weathering, excellent work mate.

Excellent and well worth the wait!:frantic:

The faded grey/green looks wonderful as does the accumulation of dirt and grime.

ย 

If I didn't have a list of builds to do and finish you'd have inspired me to dig one out of the loft.

ย 

Superb.
