Another Progress Update

After removing the excess oil from the panel lines with a peice of kitchen roll dampened in white spirts, i gave the entrie model a couple of coats of satin varnish to seal the zero before it was time to add the decals. I added the engine cover at this point too, i painted it black gloss seperatly.

Airfix supplies us with markings for one aircraft for the Pearl Habour strike force, the small decal sheet seems quite nice and well see how it comforms tot he shape of plane.

For dealing with the decalling i use a few basic tools to make life easier for myself. first i cleaned the table of clutter and put away my chair (i focus that bit better while standing )

decalling has always been a hit and miss thing with me, some builds go very well.......others not so well
I so took my time on this.......three hours of standing left me with this ;D:
