Glossed ready for transfers/decals!

Kick arse will seem like a bit of a understatement  when this done Guy 😆

We'll see.

Off to do some transfer/decal application!

Transfers/Decals going on slowly, they say they're printed in Italy for Revell but not by whom.

All I can say is that they drink Micro Sol like a parched camel at a watering hole!

Only roundels & squadron codes added, so far, but, as I think almost everyone knows, just adding those first few transfers/decals really makes a difference to the look of a model.

It starts to come alive!

So ture Guy ..so very ture   

All the aircraft identification markings done. Now just the generic markings to go.

Chop! Chop! Older Wombat Haven't got all day, y'know!
    
See how I turned that around

Walkways done (I hope*).




[*: Some of them may need some of the "clear" bits of the transfer trimmed off to minimise the risk of silvering, which I did with a razor for the aircraft ID letters.]

I do hate decals that have that clear edge..it can ruin the entire model ..ive started to cut that off before the decal hits the water now..makes life far easier 

The problem with walkways is that they need to be parallel, that's easier with the clear part in place (same goes for keeping some letters the correct shape).

However, on this build, I've been able to slice the clear part off the transfer/decal once it's in place ... Without ruining the paintwork, which is nice.

Nicely done me ol son 👏 

Transfers/Decals are done!*

Next up is gloss coat to seal in the transfers/decals & prep for washes.

After that it's matt coat, weathering & final matt coat.

However, I have to go to a niece's wedding next weekend down in the SE of the state, about 350km from here, & the wife will be coming back from Cummins with the eldest daughter, her partner & my grandson plus 2 dogs on Wednesday. So, the chances of me finishing this before the middle of next week are slim to Buckley's ("none", for those who speaketh not Australian slang).

Still, I shall endeavour to do what I can in the meantime!


[*: With the possible/probable exception of having to trim the "clear" bits from a couple more, as per previous post.]
