I thought you'd put the grey paint on a bit thick, then realised it was blutack. :banghead:

Looks super.
Is it straight from the box apart from the scheme? Why not put it into the nationals Competition?
I've a SFTB Spitfire in Biggles colours going in, and probably a Crusader Hurricane too. :thumbsup:

Well coming from you, Terry, I'm seriously humbled. Remember old friend there's a long way to go yet and almost limitless opportunity to scr*w-the-pooch. On to the decals.....

So, do you go into these projects knowing how good it's going to become or is it as much a pleasant surprise to you as it is to us?

Hey Lance, the only 'special preparation' I made was to brush-paint two coats of Klear/Future over the whole topside and left it o'night before adding the Blu-Tack.

H*ll yes !

They always look really great in my minds-eye. However when they're built, if thay are half-way to what I imagined, then I'm happy !
