I'm attempting to paint the serial number on, so she is getting there!

Noooooooooo! Oh no now I wish I had been able to send you spares. Well, I hope the carpet monster yields them up soon.

Well, sadly not, but I did manage to get the rest of the decals sorted. I had to resort to using some letters and numbers that were slightly too small for the serials, but it was MUCH better result than my kack-handed efforts to paint them!

I'm just debating if I should weather the model....!

One way or another, pics will be up soon!

Ahh, to weather or not to weather, that is the question.....

I'm gonna call it done. It wasn't too bad to build, as I'd heard a few horror stories about the kit, but I got through it with few issues. I also hate doing weathering as I don't want to overdo it - I hope this isn't overdone!!!

Thanks again to Nick for supplying the kill markings, and my girlfriend for buying the kit for me for Christmas!

Looks pretty darned good Daren. And hey, I found a few more Balkan crosses. Not many really; just four of them. I can bung them in the post if you want.

Thanks, chaps.

Thanks for the offer, Nick. If you don't mind, that would be great. I can try to add them to the scoreboard!

Okay I will post them shortly; decant them from the envelope and apply them well away from the carpet monster!
