And I will sneak these in ......

Side markings are in place and the udder side of the wings are covered . I'm very impressed with Aviattic's Lozenge ! Don't think I have ever used a decal which was so forgiving ...man you can pull on these pretty good and no tears !

One thing though and it could be our Canadian water ( never know what's in it ) but the decals would not slide off the backing even when following the instructions . I'm I missing something hear ?

I didn't use a flash hoping that the effect of the per-shading would show better ...

Terri,
    I use water from our Reverse Osmosis Filter (live in the wilderness) so it's pretty close to 100% pure, like distilled in content. I did find that the Aviattic's took a longer time to loosen up as well. Maybe the Edmonton Water (which I've always wondered about!) has something to make it even worse?)
Looking very nice, you are almost "there"!
Cheers,
Lance

Mine slid quite quickly off the backing paper Terri. I use lukewarm 'town' water from good old Lake Ontario.

Hi Lance and Chris , It has to be Edmonton's water ( tap water ) and even after two minutes still won't slide off the back . But I did find a way around this which seems to work well . I lift one of the edges and peel it off the backing . Different type of film then what I'm used to using . It's almost like a vinyl , very elastically . Either way I'm really impressed with these decals . With pershading one could have endless possibilities for effects .


Not as much as I would have like to have done this evening , but I'm super tired and my eye's are sore . Top lozenge pplied to the upper surface of the lower wings . I'm very pleased with how the pre-shading effect turned out .


Thanks Martin , always glad on having you drop by with your support ! ;D


It is really bothering me that I forgot to add the shell ejection tube in the pit ...... :(

It's coming along beautifully Terri, but do give those tired, sore eyes some occasional rest.

Best wishes

The Lozenge is coming along nicely in spite of your difficulties. My North Carolina Well water seems to work fine on the Aviattic decals as I have had no issues removing/sliding them off the backing. (With the exception of some pre production interior Lozenge that had been sent to me for trial. This was on paper that Richard and Harry chose to replace in the production decals!)

She's shaping up very nicely Terri!  I really like what you've achieved with the Aviattic loznge decals. :D

Looking forward to assembly and final completion.

Looking really good, Terri!  That red really pops in combination with the lozenge fabric. Nice work all around!

That's looking really sharp. Terri. I Can't believe your comment on the Aviattic"s performance with Edmonton's tap water. I've always thought it pretty bad however the difference makes me really wonder! Having said all of that your Lozenge looks terrific now that you've got it on and the scheme is spectacular. I'd love to do this bird in 1:32 however It's quite an undertaking from what I've seen.
Cheers,
Lance
