Glad you are keeping us company. Update at lunchtime.

I'm studying decals

Whilst the A-37 has wings.

Off to pub now.

Looking good all round, the Blackbird looks odd though!!
(P.S. that clock has a dirty mark on it!!. LFC!

Nice work so far chaps. The Blackbird looks good in Russian markings.

Cosmic is calling this one done & heading home for a power nap.

Delfin is finally dry after 3 coats of yellow. Decals going on.

The decals go on ok but stick down almost instantly so be careful if you have them. They also seem a little over-sized so the finish will only approximate the real thing.

Finnski is a DNF. Seems that lunchtime drinking finished him off.

Right, back to the decals.

Thanks for the heads up on the decals! It's starting to look the part though

This is what I mean about the decals being oversized.

They can dissolve too!

It is getting there so.

Should be done soon.

Calling this one done at 5pm, so 21 & half hours.

Some of the decals need touching up and the serial number disintegrated but had enough now.

Thanks for all the encouragement.

That's turned out well despite the decal problems. Nice & colourful.

Thanks guys. It was a bit of a chore but looks better than anticipated. Just realised I have forgotten the pitot tube and aerial.
