    At least you need to zoom in to see where I tore that long stripe.

        Looking good Karl, but I think that masking would have been easier as well :thumb2:

          More decals, the roundels are misbehaving a bit and "dishing", not something I've experienced before.
          Hopefully get these all down today and another gloss coat before a clay wash
          Managed to knock ck off all the canopy sections too......Click image for larger version

                  This is a bit scary, decals finished, gloss coat applied then slathered the model in a Flory Models weathering wash, which you let dry then wipe off with a wet rag........seen the video time to try it out.

                          Came out better than I hoped, apparantly the gloss coat is a must unless you want some surface staining.
                          And as a bonus only took one sheet of plenty to clean it all up......
