Cheers, Martin.

Here's a pic of the two Furies together...

The fuselage stripes are completely hand-painted, while the wing stripes are a bit of both decals and paint. I hope they look reasonably straight!

Just got to do some smaller assemblies before finishing off the decals on this one - which I'll be quite happy to see the back of!

Just got to varnish the little beast, but I'm calling this one done!

The Airfix decals were OK apart from the stripes. I still have a spare set for the T.20, but I might try the PM decals on that one because the centre circle has been printed seperately, hopefully avoiding any register problems.
