Well, thanks guys. The decals are homemade inkjet style. I fussed and fiddled for weeks getting them right and still, no colour density on the clear film. Good for low vis. Dave and a few others knew I was up to no good but asked for images of the art and such. I didn't respond because I was really unsure of how this would turn out. Suffice it to say, I will forward the art to anyone who wants it. (just have to cut and clip and such, it's in a much larger decal sheet with the East Lemming Airforce markings) Sorry if I sounded a bit standoffish Dave by not replying, it's just I when I get really unsure of myself I tend to retreat. I can admit failure easily (lotsa practice) and enjoy it when something turns out ok, but when it's middle of the road, I really struggle.

The kit was a bit dodgy, loaded with Bondo and eventually I give up on some of the seams, for the sake of getting it finished.

Fantastic (of course) but, after the last two nights of Canadian election debates and the separatist Bloc Quebecois party leader's constant reminders that his Quebec is its own country, your model hits just a little too close to home!

Love the homemade decals, too: what paper did you use?

Very nice Gary  :wub:

love the paint job and the backstory is very funny.

In the book Cold War hot there is a scenerio about Quebec. I should go and have a look at it again. Might give some Whif ideas.

Serious and not so serious.
