Oh dear, that's a shame OT. That canopy looks a wee bit short.
Hope I didn't jinx it by saying the masking was great

I'm blaming you.

The reason it is a bit short is that it's the part that is supposed to be displayed open!
I need to read the instructions & be more careful with fragile parts. You would think I would know that by now.

No pics tonight but I filled the gaps with PVA & got the U/C legs on.

Actually, I’m an Ian too.

I have sprayed on the silver from a rattle can & after a couple of coats it looks like this:

Not too bad but the upper nose & canopy area need a little sand cown & touch up.
The prop & wheels, U\C etc. are done. I hope to get the decals on this weekend.

Looking good - I must get a rattle can, much better than a brush. I do like your finish

Thank you sir. I started decaling last night.
Got a few walkway lines on & stencils. I also added a small black anti-glare panel.
I removed the maskol from the nav lights & U\C bays too, both look fine.

Another one done:

Lovely kit, will definately be getting a couple more. Just a shame there are no rockets.

The decals from Mark1 are spot on.
