Thank you kindly Steve . I tried a brush before on the Zero, but there's no chance of it working, the masking fluid just dries to fast. I went for a syringe with a 0.4mm glue applicator from Henkel. This works perfectly, you just need to clean the nozzle end every now and again to remove the dried mask .

Another one I missed . Looks good mate, that camo looks mighty fine. And I must admit, there's something to those Italion birds, quite different than the rest.

Joe, Wouts, cheers muchly and sorry for the late reply chaps . Today I got back the bird, it's time for the stickers . I have tried the VMS Decal Set and Soften stuff this time. I think it's working quite well, but it is scary . You certainly need to know what type of decal you have, thick or thin ones. This being Italeri I know the decals are thin which makes the application easier. If you try this then watch the VMS Video first, and pay close attention.

Those have settled on really well Paul, the combination of painted markings and decals looks great!

Thankee all kindly chaps . The rest of the stickers were added on Friday, then a light panel lining was done. This afternoon I matted the bird and started on the chipping. More to follow .

Cheers Si . The decals did settle down rather well with that VMS decal solution. It is certainly something I can recommend when the decals have large see through areas, it has cut the silvering right out

I missed an update so I doubled the fun of jumping by. The decals looks fine Paul, and the camo rocks all the way.
