What's with Yellow 11? You can't be using the kit decals. What are you using instead?

I've got an Xtradecal set X72-118 Battle of Britain,yellow 11 has the yellow nose I want and no mottling, as I'm going to try and get this one finished before I go to Fiji next week, I didn't think I could deal with mottling ! I'll post a picture tomorrow.....

Fiji. Sounds good, it was -20C here yesterday!
I'd say you could easily finish this kit in a week, especially with a simpler paint job.

Good call to go without mottling.
Enjoy Fiji!

When it's that hot, being by the water is the best place to be! When it gets that hot here in the summer, we head for the lake. :)

It's warmed up to -1C tonight. Winter heatwave. :ha:

That is a truly stupendous decal sheet Simon, really impressive. Swaz's too. I'm going to have to order a sheet I think (I've currently only got a sheet of 1/48th ones) as the model won't look right without one.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.
