While waiting for the replacement markings for the right side I have begun to apply stencils and other markings. I ended up having to paint the walkway stripes. Applied black, masked with Bobs Strippers, then sprayed silver. Fairly happy with the results

I received the replacement decals from Rowan/Pheon today at no cost to Me! Not just the ruined roundel and checks for the right fuselage but all of the markings portion of the set! Outstanding customer support as always! So now to put this one to bed

That’s great customer support! You might want to test a piece that you don’t need, just to make sure there’s no recurrence of the shattering. Better safe than sorry!

I'm a bit late to the show here. Could you tell me what sized tubing you used for the exhaust? I have one of these partially done and have been thinking of getting back to it and finishing it. I need to figure out the exhausts though and your fix looks easy enough. Thanks in advance.

My simple solution worked out well. If you look up the pipe without using a flashlight all you see is a dark tube. With a flashlight a dark tube ending in a blanked off manner

I measured the tube and oddly it is @ 14 mm Outside diameter and @ 12 mm inside diameter. IHTH,

You are welcome. So a small update. The replacement decals worked as expected, no coating needed. The checks are now on both sides and most of the stencils applied. Again thanks to Rowan and Sabine for the OUTSTANDING Customer Support!

Shaping to be another of your winning models Rick. The new markings really do look the business. As you write superb customer service from one of our specialised AM providers. My experience of these suppliers is very similar to yours - we are indeed blessed to have such good people.
