There's an awful lot of decals on this 84G :shock:
The red band that goes round the fuselage aft of the wings is not long enough(it comes in two pieces,both used) so I will have to fabricate the extra length.
I bet some of you will look closely to see if I have managed to do it decently :mrgreen:

That looks very sharp Toby. Best of luck with the red fuselage band and, naturally, we will all be sitting very close to our computer screens to check it out :ha:

Apart from a bit of tidying up I'm calling this finished. I'll post more pictures with a better back drop on the aviation section later.

Thanks OT. I appear to have forgotten my usual obsession with weathering. Not sure about it on this though.

I don't think it needs it Toby. It looks very cool just as it is so don't waste your time. Start the next project.

Well done again.

Generally, they were well maintained, so no need to go to town with weathering. Looks great!
