State of play this morning. I would have preferred to use a lighter grey on the wings, but I had run out and tamiya grey primer was what I had left, so that will have to do. Will mask up for the de-icing boots next and then onto the decalling and details.

This is going to be a DNF unfortunately. I had used maskol on the cabin windows which has proved a disaster. Spent hours getting it off last night and ended up scratching the windows badly. I will probably just paint them gloss black. Then the cheat line decal broke into as many pieces as there are windows when I tried to apply it, one side is on, but I gave it away after that.

Agh! How frustrating for you! Hope you can rectify all that and post up some pics of the finished product in Aviation Modelling once it's done.
