Tailplanes are correct ...

I think you have to look at previous pix to see that rudder is NM on one side and orange on the other.

Along with the mismatch on the rudder, it appears you also have the orange rear fuselage extending too far forward.

Only the rudder is something I'd worry about ....

:evil: Well spotted the rudder was fixed not long after I took the first photo, its the orange to far forward that is winding me up :twisted: . I used the wrong panel line so its out with the masking tape and hope it does not lift the orange when i take it off.

The good news is the silver has got good coverage so should cover the orange without much of a fuss :roll: .

I like the idea of deliberate mistakes to keep us on our toes Splash :ha:

Please show me the photo, I hope it's not one showing I haven't made a mistake :shock: because I have just fixed it.

I used thin tape to mask the line followed by thicker tape followed by cling film to cover the large areas.

I'm now happy with the finish.
