Sounds like that 'take a look' might be expensive. Eeeeks!

Post by: chriswil42 on March 11, 2023, 12:59:10 PM: The decals are on. There were a lot and they took a while. Colourful anyway.
Just a coat of varnish to apply now.

You can say that, the Woke Police are off duty today........
But it is very nice to see it in all those colourful markings, the certainly brighten it up.
A nice looking Frog, almost a Prince Charming.

Post by: chriswil42 on March 21, 2023, 02:51:40 PM: This is now finished. I had a little difficulty with the decals. They went on well; just that the invisible bits are not quite as invisible as thet ought to be.
Title: Re: Sea Knight CH-46F
Post by: zak on March 21, 2023, 05:36:13 PM: Looks good, well done with decals, they seem to be my constant nightmare!
