Thanks guys, kind words are always welcome.

I applied the decals last night, not without a few issues:

She is up on her legs now too so tonight fit the canopy, cannons, exhaust etc. Apply another klear coat before weathering then finally a dull coat.
Should be done on time.

Well done on a great finish OT.

I can only see one problem and that is, I now want one in those colours

It would make a great 1/24 scale project.

It has stopped raining so I took the chance to snap some pics in daylight. Please excuse the use of a recycle bin lid as a stand.
