Making slow progress on this one but I removed the masking and applied the first coat of klear. There are a few spots to touch up but not too bad.
I think I have boobed on the brown colour but it's too late now.
Hopefully it will tone down once weathered a bit & has a matt coat.
The underside is looking very blue. I tried Vallejo paint on the underside for the first time. I like the way it flows but the colour is a little rich for me. Again it may tone down with weathering.
I hope to start applying the kit decals tomorrow but will have to make the squadron code letters as those supplied are the wrong colour & size. Way to go Airfix research department.
) but you've already put a lot of effort into it and it would be a shame. It wouldn't be difficult or even that expensive to get a replacement vac canopy. I say put it aside for now and order a new canopy.
