Great work so far with the etched brass. I'm at the point with the Sea Vixen wingfold etch where I also need to lie down in a dark room!!!!

Thanks guys.
Well have been applying the remaining decals today and sorting out the Fenestron decals. The old 'Zero' solid colour was cut into small slices and applied over the gaps that were apparent. I used Daco 'strong' setting solution to soften these slices. Eventually the softened really well and conformed nicely.
I only need to do a little touching up now with the tip of a small paintbrush loaded with Yellow. The endplates on the stabilizer don't fit too well either, and I used the same solution on these. There is a little excess film to trim off when they have dried, for which I will use a new scalpel blade. The outer edge will need touching in.
Next visit to the bench will be to address these small touch ups.
Some pictures follow, thanks for looking:-

Well, almost 3 hours later and this etched brass is very nice but tiny, I may have to miss off some of the really small bits!!
Madness or what.
I am off for a lie down in a darkened room now.
