                        Then I have decided to try put the decal using maximum of Mr.Mark Softer; having in mind my great stencils waiting to be used. That's why I used lots of Mr.Mark, if something goes wrong I will use those stencils.

                        Now I got nervous...

                        Afetr a while:

                        So I have applied some extra liquid in panel lines:

                        After another a while...

                        I have the same kit in the stash, I'm planning on starting soon. I'd love to have a set of those masks, where did you find them?

                        Also I'm having a hard time figuring out how I'm gonna make the silver ring around the front of the cowling. I'd love to hear some ideas from my fellow modelers working on this kit

                        Is there a piece in the kit for the silver ring?  I love bare metal foil for anything metallic on an aircraft.  If not, you could always go with a piece of wire wrapped around a paint bottle for shape!  Those masks seem to have really done an amazing job, did you make them or get them AM somewhere?

                        I should have clarified myself.  Around the front of the cowling there is a ring of silver paint. I've noticed some people leave it off, but all the research I've done shows it should be there. I've been racking my brain over how best to mask it so I can make it even.

                        There is a silver ring indeed, I haven't thought of how I will paint this one but for sure will do some masking, shouldn't be that hard to do it.
