Thanks @Danstream & @Landlubber Mike for your kind comments and for the likes everyone. After another session with masking tape, I have applied the faded ID stripes, looks black and a cream yellow in the photos , but in daylight they are more charcoal and a pale yellow. The photo on post #5 you could say the stripes were white/black like "D-Day" ones; and Airfix's instructions say they "might" have been white, but comparing them to the white square on the leading edge of the wing (inner section with the number "86" on it) I have convinced myself they are faded yellow. Anyway committed now! 😁 Getting close to gloss varnish and decal time! - thanks for looking in.

I had been hoping to see more of Jim's fine work, but found from another artist site he has passed on last year:- James Rae a.k.a. vegaskip - WetCanvas: Online Living for Artists Sad news, but we have this glorious catalogue of some of his work here on MSW to treasure.

A little while since my last update, but I have not been idle managed to get this ugly beast masked (which took ages around some of the more complicated tail areas) and the Extra Dark Sea Grey applied. Overall happy with the result, need now to do the metal finish wing-fold areas and the faded "Operation Musketeer" stripes. One thing I did come across was a trade advert for the Fairey Gannet in the September 7th 1951 edition of "The Aeroplane" magazine I have copy of, a fascinating read from a bygone era! Thanks for looking in.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
