Work all done with the hairy stick, decaling begun. Future under placement areas, flat coat will be brushed when they're all on. To test the decal quality I experimented with one of the tiny serial numbers first; Dissolve-O-Rama! So after a couple of coats of decal film I dared try again; success.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Excellent.

I feel that certain sections of the modelling world would consider everything we do here ignominious.

She certainly suits that colour scheme and those markings

Anyone who's built the Frog Tempest may remember the rocket rails. There are 2 pins on each one, and 2 corresponding holes on the rockets. Well, one of the pins on an outside rail was either broken off or short-shot, so, what to do? Okay, move the rocket forward to put the front pin in the rear hole, glue the fin to the rail to keep it straight, and make some smoke from a Q-tip head glued to it and teased out. Watch out, Rommel, there's a kaboom with your name on it headed your way.

GOOD thinking there!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
