I knew I'd forgotten to stick something on before I primed it in black.

Excellent progress Toby. What a smashing kit.

The Airfix version has a night fighter marking option but only the underside is black.

That kit has some really nice panel details. You planning on picking out the details with a pin wash?

Looks really nice Toby. A fine propelling pencil is good for picking out panel lines.

I use a very fine felt nib pen and wipe the excess off with a damp cloth.

Looking at the decal sheet I can see that insignia markings on the wings are very few if any. Seems odd but they you are.

I think it was Sir T who put me onto it so the accolades should be his :)
