Thanks for the encouragement, All. It's steady but very slow on the progress scale presently, have had a couple of minor setbacks that incur and extra day or so each as they rear their ugly little heads. I have the Lozenge completed on the top and bottom of the upper wing however don't have the Lozenge Rib Tapes (that I never thought of until now!) required. I've found that the Wood & Wire Lozenge decals are very brittle and it's really difficult to cut them without "chipping" of the colours. (I am using the white base product) If my attempts to cut my own tapes aren't successful I'll have to put this on hold until I get some of the real product.) In a moment of inspired genius I thought of the Kit supplied decals/tapes however they don't at all match the colours/finish and are not useable in this case. As a matter of information there's been a "flurry" of PM's between Ernie and I comparing notes and discussing solutions to the rib tape question. He has the clear base Lozenge and found that cutting rib tapes worked very well.
I'll be trying the "home cut" solution today, I have a fresh bottle of Microscale Liquid Decal Film on hand which may help. I also missed an un-filled seam on the fuselage before spraying the Silbergrau colour coat which had me filling, sanding, and sealing then re-spraying the area over again, a 2 day event with curing time factored in.. Ah well, it's not a race!
I'll hopefully get some photos up in the next 2-3 days.
Cheers,
Lance
