Yes, I decided to pin my decal sheet over my bench to remind me of how many stencils there were that I couldn't possibly see, much less read, from 72 feet away ....

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Re: VV's Biggles Spit.
I lost one microscopic decal in the process. Care factor: minimal

Re: VV's Biggles Spit.
So this is the current state of Biggles' bus. I need to paint the cockpit framing and then it's basically done, but for Ident code letters. I thought I was able to get hold of these earlier but no joy. Fingers crossed I can get them in the next week.

Re: VV's Biggles Spit.
Odd. Here's the link anyway: http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y48 ... 303641.jpg;
Sad news - I haven't been able to get hold of the lettering I need, so I can't fully complete this. It will have everything except the fuselage codes.
Oh well....

Re: VV's Biggles Spit.
I say! That's rather nice - despite the lack of fuselage codes.

Re: VV's Biggles Spit.
Shame the codes won't arrive in time, it still looks good though.

Re: VV's Biggles Spit.
So, sadly it's still in limbo with regards to the codes (blast it, Smyth, where are they??!). But anyway, here's the constructed machine with everything else done.
