I'm looking the model......is not a pity apply the decals ?, well, almost the big circles. They will cover all the panel lines and the littles holes...

How about to paint them...? so much difficult...? O_o

LOL

But it is not such a bad idea. Painted roundels etc look so much better. I tried it on my 1/32 Martlett which was an adaption from the Trumpeter Wildcat and I used paint masks for the job. The small stencils were all decals but all the major markings were painted using masks. They really do look so much better. There are several makes of masks and some will do 'custom' masks if you want to build a specific aircraft

Here is one of the brands out there: http://shop.maketar.com/

I wouldn't trust myself to do it , I think I'll stick to the decals it's safer

Mine arrived today but I'm not going to see it until September, so many thanks for sharing the in the box shots for me to enjoy!

Mine isn't going to get made for a while either but I didn't want to miss out on it like I did with the Mossie and had to pay silly money to get hold of one!

that is going to be a big plane when built , a lot of guys over here in the local model shop have been waiting with baited breath for it to come out it looks well detailed
