I'm a bit stuck now, as the Day Glo decals are a little thick and brittle. I've tried both Clear and DecalFix to set them. One or two have just broken up. I have not wrapped them around the leading edge, but have cut a slice away. I then applied them top and bottom, painted the gap matt white and then gloss Xtracolour Day Glo Orange, which is a nice match. The flat decals went on with a little persuation and a couple of coats of Decal Fix. The tank decals failed too, so I'll make new ones, or just order another Provost. I'm looking to get another 4 anyway. Airfix didn't have spares, but I'll soon get another one. With my discount and free postage over £30, it's good value.

This old kit is getting a bit more work done with aerials and a some more decals. I'll tidy up the canopy frames too.

So many models, so little time.

Well done Chuck E!
Original bands in yellow? And not the total width of the wings?
I think Airfix could have elaborated on "Royal Air Force Training Command"

Mus try and track down pics of XM346
