Thanks Juan and Stephen for dropping by and the kind comments  :)

One last up-date before next weekend . Lower lozenge is in place on all the undersides including the inner wheels . I was planning on using Rodens decals as a template but their bolts are wider so that idea was scrapped and did it the old fashion way . I notice that in my steel ruler no longer has a straight edge ( noticable on my straight cuts ) . Time for a new one ! I will let this dry over night or a few days , trim them and seal them before I start the rib tapes .

Good update, T. Lots of things done.  I especially like coloring on the guns.  Are you satisfied with the preshading you did under the decals?  It's a little hard to see the effect in the pictures.

I'm looking forward to seeing this completed.   ;)

Thanks Ken and Rick for your continuing support by following along  :)

Ken , am I pleased with the results of the shading ? Not overly pleased with it but I do like the results in the end . Doesn't photograph to well , but the effect is there . I should have went lighter with the filters . The decals aren't as transparent as the Aviattic lozenge is and I should have done a test and make adjustments from there . But I didn't  ::) It will stand out a bit more once the wings have some of the shine knocked back . Fingers XXXXXXX

Upper lozenge is now applied and I had a few errors do to my own stupidity which now needs a few touch ups . Wheels are ready for further weathering and the outer struts got their lozenge applied and everything has been sealed with a coat of future . Can start the rib tapes now  :)

Your SSW is really taking shape T! The upper lozenge looks Terrific with the striped fuselage. Very eye catching scheme!
