Splinter camo has not been as daunting as first expected. Heres phase 2:

She has also been kleared ready for decalling.

Stunning camo job. A good tutorial too, I guess the trick is building the camo up one colour at a time.

Thanks folks. Decals have now been applied but I had a bit of blond moment and totally ruined one of the 68 decals for the tail. If anyone has a spare????

Sealing coat of klear on. Hope to fit the rotors and matt varnish tomorrow.

Tough break on the decal. Seems the number 68 should be easy to source out.

This one is as finished as it can be. Hopefully I can get hold of the missing decal to finish it off properly:

I have put a couple of more photos in the gallery.
