Thanks mate.

As Pete said, that is excellent work with those decals . Tamiya aircraft decals can be areal PITA, too thick, breakable, and tricky to remove from the carrier. But you have them well and truly sorted

But you have them well and truly sorted Agreed---Tamiya stickers are a pain in the a@#. I only used them once and it's been after-market, ever since. Nonetheless, Guy, she looks gorgeous.

Nice stickerage, Guy. One of the lads that comes to the club, thins down his Tamiya decals by sanding them.

Ok there was one more big decal to add and again trouble in paradise as it cracked while gently sliding into place. Nothing I can't repair but still pretty sideways. The small ones were stickered on too and gloss clear was sprayed on which means it's time to pick up the oils.
The yellow wing markings to be done by airbrush, enough is enough.π

Thank you Pete. The wheelage was coloured today. The cracked decal was repared with a tad of sky-ish blue. Tomorrow it's nose wheel time.

I've decided to tone down the green a tad using a yellow ocre filter (oils). Now this filter needs to dry really well before I can do the next step. Tomorrow I'll keep myself busy with the canopy job. And just maybe I'll try to make a harnass instead of using a decal which most certainly would break up. Cheers chaps.
