Just found your thread and will be following closely. Got this same kit last year, but couldn't start due to surgery. Next week, school let's out and I hope to get back to the bench. Thanks for the great tips so far in your build!!

Hi gents,

Apologies for s%#ty photos.
Finally on to the decals
Close enough for now:
Some tyre works (aluminium not treated and weathered yet):
It was bad enough that your amazing cockpit detail totally schooled me but now it turns out I've been doing wheels all wrong for 40yrs too!
Beautiful work.

Thank you Joe, appreciated.
There is no right or wrong way, just different.
Decals - check!
Not super easy to soften. Great print and in register but kind of on a thicker side.
I used both Vallejo decal softener and Humbrol Decalfix to do the persuasion.
There is some minor silvering to fix.
We will see how it all looks after a clear coat.
Weathering has begun!
First was the colour modulation (which I should have done before decals but life ain't complicated enough so I like to spice it up a bit )
Lesson learned.
Next are washes, post-shading, oils, pencils...
Panel lines finished.
Started some streaking, stains, leaks,...
Thats looking great Nikola.
I can't believe I've been missing out on this one for this long. Your work is always super nice and this is no exception. Well done. I stand in amazement.
