Slight glitch I have ordered decals from eBay but they have not turned up yet, so I might finish up at the finished but not deacaled stage.

That's a shame Splash as it's been an entertaining build!

As you can see it only needs a small amount of work followed by the decals.

My decals arrived, but guess what, the white "Royal Navy" decals are either to big or to small :evil:

I'm now seriously contemplating purchasing the "Rotorcraft" conversion set, just to get the extra decals :shock: that come with the set, if I go for the HAS9 set it would allow me to finish this build and make another HAS9, but the markings are virtually the same :frown:

My other option is to get the HAS7 set, this comes with markings for seven a/c including a dayglow/blue set that would fit my HAS9 and allow me to build my other 3 Whirlwinds as naval birds all in different colours :-D

Until I sort out my decals this will say a DNF :cry:

Thanks for all your support I have really enjoyed this GB and I'm gutted to have two DNF's but that's life and both builds deserve to be finished when I get back from my holidays.

Thanks for the offer Paul but I'm thinking if I get the Rotocraft conversion I can use the nose to build a RAF HAR10 in the UN colours and use the decals to finish mine as the SAR a/c from HMS Seahawk RNAS Culdrose.
