Re: David's entomological build
Replacement decal paper arrived and decals made. I discovered the kit roundels had yellowed a bit - but only after I had applied them and noticed them compared to the white painted fuselage!!!! The one on the left has now been overlaid with a REALLY old Stoppel decal but at least it's a bit whiter.
Might make the deadline after all..........

I know it may be a bit late but on the Aerial question. I am blessed with perfect colour vision (Though I am bog-eyed when it comes to focussing) The top and bottom of the aerial looks to be white, dull silver for the blade and a narrow black band in the middle.
Superb build BTW. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
All the best.

Re: David's entomological build
Thanks, Greg.
A minor glitch. I discovered that frisket masking is great for pulling off decals that have been on for 24 hours and under a coat of Future since 9am this morning!!!!!!

Re: David's entomological build
I added a pin for the pitot and a blob of white glue for the nose light, replaced the nose decals that the frisket pulled off and I am calling this one done.
Thanks to everyone for the support. I had masking and decals challenges with this one but I am pretty happy with the result and enjoyed this GB.
