Right last major spray work on the mossie - masked up wing and stabs ready for rattle can green, after I took the parts out into the back patio and sprayed away then put them in my box, went on ok I think. Pic of the masked up parts prior to spraying. OC.

Thanks for the advice Kevin, my first work using decals with setting producs, I polished the fuselage as I thought the advice is to put them down on a gloss / shiny surface? guess it doesn't help with the decs being a flat finish not shiny. OC.

More progress with the decals - I put a few layers of micro sol over the tail, then today I brushed over a coat of semi gloss top coat just to seal them down, next was the serial this went down ok, then the large one piece fuselage decal, this was a little more trouble-some even with a coat of micro sol you can clearly see the decal paper between the letters - this might settle down with a coat of semi gloss top coat. The decal is still wet from the micro sol. OC.

Count me in mate love these eduard kits - is it my imagination or do they feel a bit more solid than other makes (my spit feels more solid than the ICM version). OC. -

Those colours really compliment each other and make a lovely made kit rather more special. OC.

That is why I love our forum as we are all not affraid to push our individual building skills, and try to put our own stamp on what we are building - giving it a bit of life in any way we wish to. OC.

Hi all, I have been having a little play at painting the nose cone glazing frame black, it went ok even by hand, then I decided to start the fuselage decal application starting with the tail, this area has the square fin flash and a couple of warning labels on each side, they went down with micro set then a couple of layers of micro sol, they will need more applications as I can still see the edge around the fin flash even with the micro sol. OC.

That looks Awsome truly beautiful job, the whole thing comes alive now. OC.
-
Thank you Edward. OC.
-
Sounds like my earlier kits.... OC.

Was it Alexandru who created that early version of Vic? you sir have crated a masterpiece of here more frequent and most known ship. Thank you. OC.

Thank you Kevin, they had the fresh lakey ERK's give it a quick touch up then it did a few flights and roughed it a bit.😉 OC.

Just took these - they show the canopy glued down and touched up around the edges - also the rudder in place and hand painted. OC.

Thank you Craig. OC.

I appreciate you checking it out Lou, I think I will just be glad to see it done now, so it can go in the display unit, so I can move onto the spits. Like I said thank you for having a look at those pieces. OC.

Wowser - did you check out the price on tha bottom two the ebay one wanted something like £40 including delivery over here and the second one was from japan quoting £400 odd "Gulp" I had looked into it when my canopy first broke but didn't like the look of vacforms as they are very thin and look to flex a lot also lack any scale. I am fairly happy with the recovery of the canopy now, it went down fine no gaps that a little putty couldn't hide, I had to touch up around the canopy but my tin/jars of actylic (the closest match) is slightly different to the rattle can, but "hey ho" its close enough. Next will be to mask up the other wing ready for the green - same on the tops of the two stabs. OC.

I know I said it before - but that is very nice decking just the right colour I think. OC.

What an amazing level of workmanship - really first class. OC.
