after a 6 month hiatus (after I lost my modelling space to a pair of tropical fish tanks), a bathroom renovation and several other little "issues", I have finally got to the stage of completing the Mk1A spitfire.
All looked quite promising right up to the decal stage when the first fuselage decals disintegrated before they hit the plane. So I thought I would ask here, does anyone know where I can buy MK1A Spitfire decals in 1:72 scale? prefferably reasonably cheaply? I have seen a couple of european dealers with them but the cost is greater than the kit!!!
Meanwhile I have started on the BV141 and am at the paint stage, still deciding how to mask the canopy, some of the framing is non existant so that makes it harder. I have a "true Frames" sheet with a large amount of blank space so I am considering painting it the appropriate colour and then cutting into thin strips and framing the canopy that way, any thoughts on this idea?
The Hurricane and control Tower are on hold at the moment with lack of details issues but I am working on a BF110 which is also at the paint stage.
Hopefully by September I will have the Spit, BF110 and BV141 completed and may even have done the Hurricane.

(Sorry folks this should have gone on the Airfix Group build string, and I don't know how to move it!!)
