Okay, moving on.
The whole airframe got a gloss coat of 'Kleer' after I had added some scratches on the airframe with a 'silver coloured pencil'. I added the most to the forward facing areas of the aircraft, leading edges, wing roots, engine cowlings, etc.
Once this had dried I began applying the decals. These are super, good density, and conform very well, with a little softening soloution. However there are about 100 individual items to apply, so it is not a quick task. One criticism is that the instructions do not show exactly the orientation some decals should be, so some research is needed. They are superbly printed though!!
Over the next few nights, I will complete the rest.
