First class model - both construction and finish. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the near future.

Very nice model, lozenge decals looks like real fabric. Did you use kit decals or aftermarket ?
I have heard that Roden decals can be quite tricky so i would like to know did you have any problems if you used them?

Thank you all very much.

Matti, in my opinion the kit decals are not useable. I wanted to use them but gave up very quickly. I used Aviattic decals instead. If you use them the first time you have got to learn to work with them but I intend to use them more in the future.

Beautifully done. Great to see another rendition of this splendid Roden kit. This was my first venture back into modelling after a twenty year hiatus and I found the kit lozenge decals ok to work with although nowhere near as good as your AM ones.
More proof how well Roden kits can turn out.
