Well, she’s finished.
Here is the mount of Pips Priller based in Belgium during Summer 1942. Only lightly weathered. More pictures in the finished gallery.

Hi mate. I cheated and picked one without a spiral ?. To be honest, as I had a silvering problem due to a pebble-dashed gloss varnish effect, I never tried to strip them either as I was unsure of adhesion. The wing walk dashes and small stencils didn’t go down that well because of this either.

Ah , just my luck . I reckon these must be the new type as the carrier film seems very glossy and quite excessive , usually on Eduard decals the film is very close to the image . In the meantime I’ll see what the spiral dries like and might end up hand painting it ?. I’ll have to see what the rest are like later on , cheers tony

If they are the new ones, stripping them is very easy and extremely effective. I did it on my Zero build last year, and put up a review/SBS on the process, but I expect the images are like shrunken heads now, so not that helpful unfortunately….
