Thanks guys ! :)

Should have rest of the decals on today and get them sealed for a bit of weathering . Don't want to much weathering on this one , it would take away for the scheme .

Rest of the decals are on , a few still need another coat of super sol . Mainly on the fin and rudder assembly . The decals are on think side but other then that they did perform well over the details . The checkers on the cowl give me a few issues and off by just a bit , but I'm happy with the results so far , she does look sharp ! All the other bits are pretty much ready to go . Tail skid is in the middle of getting it's colours , the prop just needs the boss painted . Now it's off to seal the decals and start making a shit load of eyelets . I must admit ...I really like this scheme  :)

I'm a happy camper now that I see checkers.   ;D

Looking forward to seeing it finished (I know that may be a while yet).

Thank you guys  :)

Yes Ken , still a bit to go and I must admit feeling a little down today and the only thing I did on this build today wash apply the wash . A bit more weathering and detail painting before the final sealing coat and I still have to start making those wire hoops . Sorry to disappoint , but more progress is coming very soon  ;)

That must be one of the most attractive Camel schemes that I have seen, and there were some pretty colourful schemes among the personal aircraft of training squadron leaders.
