I see no decal issues so it must be photography magic. haha
this looks great, weathering looks spot on too.

VERY well done! I agree that the panel line wash really kicks the NMF into the next level. My problem is always how to keep the panel lines going where the decals are. I hate cutting into my decals but the wash tens to not cooperate on decals - what do you do?

Thanks a lot guys for the comments ,much appreciated

Bladerunner ,what I do with the decs is ...I use a fresh blade to cut through the dec along a panel line then use some sol to make sure the edge is down tight the aircraft is then sealed up with Klear ,then run the wash through it ,I didnt really attempt it much on this one tho as the decs were really bad and I feared they may come apart ! but a panel line through the decs does look more realistic in my opinion ...just take care

Avoid looking thunderbolt - can't even tell you had any decal problems Chris. This has been a really good build thread to follow along with also, with explanations, and tips - thanks.
