Thanks Stephen, I really appreciate the encouragement. Salvation is at hand for this one though. I just found out that HGW make wet transfer decals for the registration code and the fuselage C. Under our present circumstances they will take a while to get to me. I also have roundels that are a near perfect match.
I have been experimenting on plastic card with home made masks, the results were very encouraging but I was concerned that the colours weren't quite the same as the wing decals and painting white over dark PC10 seemed to come with plenty of problems.
In the meantime I'm carefully scrutinizing the Tripehound instructions before diving in on the rebound. I will start a new thread for it as soon as I have something to show, it looks like a really beautiful kit.
