I fully agree with you novakits.

The decals have gone on with no problems except I think the wing roundels a a size too small, but they look ok.

Shouldn't they be a little further outboard, as well?

The more I looked at it, the more I agree with you, so the wing roundels have been taken off and I'm now going to try the original frog decals as supplied with the kit.

You've made a really great job of your invasion stripes on your Bristol and your Sea Hornet is looking very good too!

I admire your patience in taking off the roundels to put them slightly more outboard (though I do agree with Paul)! Not sure I could've been bothered, maybe I'm just lazy :lol:

Like Paul said they were too small, this made them look not enough outboard.

The old Frog decals have worked, they are not perfect but they will do untill I can get some more.

The Airfix decals behaved well and just slid into place.

It's going to be tight but I think I can get these two on the ground before the airfield closes unfortunately the Owl will be missing in action last seen in a flat spin heading for the box of shame.

Sorry guys family life has go in the way of bench time, I had planned to sort out the kitchen before lunch but it took longer than planned plus my daughter has just rang to invite us over for a Sunday Roast so no bench time today.

I will finish these and move them over to the Aviation thread.

Thanks for all your support I have really enjoyed this GB.
