    Looks as if there's some PVA on the cockpit side - I'll have a go at that with a wet cotton bud.
    Thanks for looking.

            Thanks chaps! I'm quite pleased with it. Shame the decals are a bit translucent. There should be two more aerials on the rear fuselage, but I lost one and didn't fancy making them.

                        I'm deeply honoured to receive this coveted award, and I'd like to thank all the folks that made this nomination possible... oh no, that's the Oscar speech, sorry.

                          If I made another I think I'd paint a white patch where the fuselage roundels and the ace of diamonds are to go, to stop the change of colour showing through the decal.

                            Thanks for the tip! I'll be using AM decals, but definitely good advice.
