Plenty of progress this week and it's now starting to come together. Coat of silver on everything and then tried a coat of clear which didn't seem to work very well so removed it and used some Rowney gloss varnish before adding the decals (I didn't fancy the well known 'bob' version which was my iunitial intention, but the smaller roundels looked slightly out of register)
Slight problem with the rudder decals which was entirely my fault. First one went okay and after drying I couldn't get the second one to line up correctly and eventually tore it
No problem - I'll just paint the fin flashes. I removed the other side easily and thought that didn't damage the paint so I gingerly tried taking off the small underwing roundels which were a bit tricker, but again no damage so with a volt face I decided to change the colour scheme and remove
all the decals which is where the problem started . . . . In the end I had to rub down the top wing and fuz surfaces and will need to start again
Still good practice I suppose
Leaving the model aside (I'll spare you the unfortunate damaged shots) I pressed on with the woodwork which I'm pretty happy with. Hopefully I'll get the wing and fuz re-painted over the weekend and be able to sort out the decals early next week
Cheers
