This one has been ongoing for a little time now. Currently sprayed up and gloss coat on for decalage etc. Will give a little try with some oil dot work to try and add a little more blueness to the camo as I fear it is a little on dark side. A few pictures to show where I am with this.

As ever all comments welcome and more soon.

On this I experimented a bit and used Revell Acrylic Clear Gloss from a small "rattle can".

Jury still out on what I think, but you have to try things.

Thanks for looking in and the comments.

Tried a little oil dot work but was not overjoyed, so off it came and will leave as is. Started a little "gouache" work and also started the decalage. Went with the decal stripes and started to wish I hadn't. Very brittle, but onward and sideways and one wing done.

Once the rest are on, will seal and continue with the gouache and see where it goes.

A small update as I have finally got the stripes on the fuselage and the rest of the decals in situ. Cockpit is the Aires replacement for a little extra detail. Tim
