            Morning guys.

            I've spent the last few evenings getting on with something that I had been putting off, namely the carbon decals. I was quite worried about getting these down well, particularly around the complicated shape of the cowling but I'm actually very pleased with the result.









            I'm going to get the other various decals down next then apply the gloss.

                          Late in in this Bob. A great job on the decals and they do look like the real thing. A great job on the whole build too. Are you glossing it to keep them from lifting? Or for some weathering?

                          Prost

                            Cheers Allen.

                            Yes, partially to seal them in but also to give it a high gloss, showroom finish. No weathering on this one, other than the engine.
