Right, time to get serious again . Today was adding placards to the landing gear and adding more oil stains on the bird . Revells instructions doesn't mention the placards, but they are on the decal sheet . So after a quick internet check for the Hasegawa instructions I found out which ones they are and where they go The placards were however a real PITA to get in place, they just din't want to stick, so I employed my ole trick of using Tamiya gloss as a glue, at the moment they are still where they belong . I'll matt coat the landing gear tomorrow and then add the silver for moving parts of this stuff

The undercarriage leg looks rather good with the placard in place.

Tamiya Gloss as glue? What a neat trick.
And what nice bird. I love those underside streaks btw!

Cheers Joe . Still a lot of staining and grime to add there yet though . Wouts, that is how I used to apply decals . I would add them straight onto a wet gloss surface, they always settled down nicely too . The only problem was, you needed to work really fast and know exactly where they needed to go .

This looks amazing, Paul! Yes, I was amazed at how many placards we had to deal with on the gear. I think the gear assemblies and doors were the most complex part of the build.

I have been following this closely and haven't been commenting because this makes me feel so inadequate in the face of all this stunning and phenomenal painting and detailing!
I bow in the presence of greatness!
