Can't see them too well in this low-light pic but there are probably more stencil decals on this model's underside than I normally do on an entire model.

One more shot.  When she's all done, I'll take a shot outdoors.

Barry, she looks simply stunning.  Don't you love it when the decals go on and the model suddenly comes to life?  :wub:

The contrast between the red and the silver is wonderful  :wub:  Very clean and crisp!

I can't wait to see the finished article!  :wub:

That's a stunning piece of work Barry, like Nev says the finish is so crisp. I always find models come to life at the transfer stage - sometimes even ones your'e not to happy with come to life

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Good job Barry!

But it seems that the flag on the left fuselage side is not the right way around, the Union Jack should be facing forward...

Otherwise than that :  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

Oh, and the red ensign is not overkill.  As far as I'm concerned all your planes should still have em, along with RCAF titles as well  :tornado:

Never Nev.

You can shove that red ensign where it belongs, ie. Ontario.

I saw in Milberry's RCAF history book that the Union Jack part should go forward but, to me, it just looks so... "wrong" aesthetically.

Maybe, on some very subconscious level, I'm still vexed about "Betty's" visit to our fair town last week...she was apparently miffed that some 4-yr-old in the crowd attempted to >>gasp!<< shake her hand.

Protocol, you know.  Ah hell, I just hijacked my own thread...
