I'm calling it done. I did use the little stamp tool to pop out the decals over the windows. This was fun but it didn't remove the decal just pushed it to the sides. I therefore spent 15mins running the tip of a knife around each window to trim them up. I replaced the aerials with thinner plastic card and also the stubby mast on which the V sat about the cockpit with something longer. I then notice that half the aerials weren't apparent on production models. :roll: Not my finest model by a long chalk! It's done however and I have finally completed my first ( and last ) airliner model ( unless it also appeared in RAF colours ).

Looks great, James. Nice effect of panels on the engines.
