Re: OT's Springbok Vampire
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.
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.

I am calling this one done. Stencils have been applied & sealed with Klear.
I will take some better pictures & get them in the gallery ASAP.
