Coming on very nicely Mick!

A pic after unwrapping. Quite pleased with the outcome as I’ve never tried marbling before. Quite a bit of touching up to do but making some progress now. The big light patch on the right isn’t actually there, weird?

What a brilliant result Mick, that looks spot on.. :thumb2:

[adt70hk]

No complaints from me Mick!! As for that light patch, weird!!!

You've every reason to be pleased. It's worked a treat.

Thanks for the comments gents, much appreciated. Feels like an age since I posted anything on this build but time has been against me. I keep doing little bits but finally I’m not working, swmbo has covid again but is doing ok so I got to the bench. Decals have been the order of the day for two whole days, the count is getting close to three figures but you wouldn’t guess from the pic. There are even more for the armament but they need to be sprayed up and unfortunately my garage is a little chilly at the moment. Still little jobs to finish off and tidy up so I can stay at my desk.

Nice work Mick and I hope SWMBO is feeling much better. I would think it's a bit chilly if you have some snow lying around. Don't know much about the 'marbling' stuff and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the little glass balls, so I guess it looks real good. The decals do look nice too...Now get her back inside before she freezes Buddy!!!...

Mick,

That's turned out very nicely indeed!

Very well done. I'm sure the decal manufacturers do it to torture us.

I did 1/72 Airfix Spitfire for the Battle of Britain GB and that had about 60....:fearful::cold-sweat:.

Looking forward to the big reveal!

ATB.

I hope your good lady is recovering well.
Decals on planes can take a lot of time but add a lot to the build. This is looking great.
