Oh yes. I have to scribe some bomb bay doors onto the underside. I'm kicking around whether to sand off the raised lines and rescribe all new. So much has been lost already.

Anyone know of where to find some faded roundels?

Do you mean the  pale blue and pink ones the RAF used on the all white V-bombers later on?

I think Modelecal did a set like that, and there's a lot of them still available on ebay, but if not I've got quite a number of them going spare.

Where are you geographically?

Postage won't be all that much out there. What size roundels do you need, presumably Victor size?  ;D

The Phantom cockpit I'm using is 1/144th scale so what ever you have on the small side will do. Thanks a million.

Painting issues again! A couple coats of gloss white from the hardware store and then it wrinkled up in different spots. Sanded down but what to use so it doesn't happen again? The hardware store paint may have been old so I don't want to use it again. Probably should just spend a couple bucks and get some spray acrylic. Going for anti flash white.
