Thanks Brian. I do have a rattlecan of Testors decal spray I could've used, but I just gave up on them.

Progress has been progressing, though:


The final steps are the prop and tailwheel leg.

This a keeper Zac. Excellent work.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Yowsa is that ever some stunning paintwork! The demarcation between the stripes and the uppers/lowers is incredibly well done!

I tip my hat to you, Old Bean!

Thanks gents! Brian - just good, old-fashioned Tamiya 6mm tape...which worked out perfectly for the invasion stripes.

The next job will be the spinner and prop. I got a BarracudaCast Firefly Mk.I job but, despite the presence of four blades in the bag, the spinner is set up for three. So what I'll do next weekend is:
- fill two of the prop mounts
- make a copy from modelling clay with four holes and more length
- use the new spinner as a master in my first ever resin casting experiment

Progress as and when!
