That's a nice bit of interior work VV, there certainly is not much space in there.

Darn it! The red of the decals is quite transparent and just doesn't show on the green. I'll need to put down a white coat under each decal. Lucky I printed extra! I'll leave it til tomorrow to sort out. I have one day left on this GB.

WOW! Amazingly fast work. Shame about your decals but you are one prepared man, so I look forward to seeing this one tomorrow.

Looking fine. Nearly there. Loads of time left.

An idea;
Have you any old decals of the same size as your new roundels? Sometmes old, out of register, ones are useful for this. Put them on face down so the white back is up. The coloured side helps the white, the white helps your decal. But you do ned ones of good quality which are thin, like Matchbox or Airfix ones.
Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Thanks gents. I have all day on it, so should work out.

Fred, I was planning to do just that, but use blank white printable decal instead. I'm just about to cut out the base decals.
Very happy with this build so far :)
