John, Joe, Guy, cheers muckers . Sorry for the delay here, but that happens when you 3 builds running at one time . The bird has been been glossed and some panel lining has been added, this needs to cure now and then I can get the decals on and a matt-coat .

Gotta be careful with the gloss Boots, I think mine was too thick and that is why is didn't cover all the lines as needed

Okay then, I used the kit decals for the markings, serial numbers and stencils etc. Boy were they very trying indeed . It was probably down to age, although they weren't discolored, they were very fragile. Even the smallest stencils broke up. After a coating with Microscale Liquid Decal Film, I could work with them. After the stickers had set, I used some 4000 grade micromesh to gently sand away the carrier film . Vallejo Matt Varnish 70.520 was used to flatten the gloss down. Next up will be some masking of the tail end, so I can then spray on the bare metal area of the exhausts .
