She looks great Mick. As others have said, marbling, it's just weathering re-named. I like it.

Cheers Chris

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.

Thank you Andrew I think you’re right, but they do look good but they continue to be my nemesis

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

Thank you Jim and yes getting better by the day so better make the most of my bench time

Bravo. A great result for a difficult finish.

Many thanks Paul

Thank you Colin, always good to try something a bit different

Cracking on with what I can until the temp increases a bit. Today decals on the ECM pod, 22 decals on here

Impressive work Mick. I'm not so keen on modern aircrafts but yours is really an eyecatcher.

Beautiful job on ECM pod.

Beautiful job on ECM pod.

Thanks very much Paul. Working in this scale certainly pushes you on as it’s harder to disguise little mistakes

More work on ordnance today and a pair of AGM88 Harm missiles. Initial decal count was 10 per missile however, three of the decals go all round and slot over the fins. I checked the decals and saw that the cutouts weren’t so needed to be cut to fit. There was also another that also had to slot over two fins. Talk about stressful The decal at the tail end was cut into four sections and the other two in half. So pleased to have got these sorted. Just another 6 missiles and two bombs to go.

Got a shake of the head and a look off swmbo after damaging a decal. I managed to find a decal the right colour, took off roughly a half mil strip and rebuilt it. It’s what our hobby is all about, isn’t it?

Looking superb mate,this is going to be something rather special mefinks

Mick,
Hats off to you mate that is some serious patience, and another reason I don't build wingy things.

Looking real good Mick. This is going to be one impressive display piece. Love the detail and the subtle weathering - nice :thumb2:
