Sage advice indeed Martin, thanks for the tip.

It seems that my Kung-Fu is strong & defeated the tyrant Day-Glo.

I faced another nemesis tonight, the infamous De-Cal from the Fantasy Print shop nebula.

I think the fumes are getting to me - best take the stormtrooper helmet off. :ha:

Anyway, the decals performed wonderfully & this is where I will finish tonight:

Still some stencils to do which I would not usually bother with except that they appear quite prominent on silver aircraft.
Then a little lite weathering around the few recessed panels & gun ports. Highlight a few raised details with a pencil.
Seal with a final coat of klear & then call this one done. 8-)
