              Indeed they are Pete!
              I first used them for work/industrial stuff and thought "How good could these be"?!!.... and the rest is history!!

                      Morn Mr. Sharpie Smiff,

                      Sorry that I am fashionably late to this fine build of yours. I just did a complete read through and have enjoyed your progress so far. Love the camo Sir!!! I couldn't imagine trying to paint the black lines with a brush either, so the sharpie solution was the only real answer for it. The driver looks good even though you won't see too much of him afterwards. Drive on Andy!!!

                          A brief update.......
                          Some tidying up of the tri colours has occurred,black lines added and some weathering going on too,still not satisfactory yet,but certainly on it`s way imho......

                              That's coming on very nicely indeed.
