Old Collingwood Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share #331 Posted March 16, 2020 What I will do tomorrow - Add the nav lights at the end of the wing then put a few of the decals on the wing - these are the large roundel and the danger panel marks for the top of the engine rad, and any other decs to go on as I now have micro sol and set. After leaving a day or so I will spray over the wing/decs with my Tamiya flat coat laquer to seal it all in. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share #333 Posted March 17, 2020 Hi all, just put on the two wingtip nav lights (just see through plastic) then I decided to have a go at the wing decals, I started with a couple of tiny ones under the wing - I put them down using Microset first then after about five minutes after I had wicked away any moisture - I then brushed on some Microsol and left it to dry, then I turned the wing over and placed the rad warning decal - same again Microset placed wicked away the moisture with a cotton bud, then I did the same with the Roundel, after this was placed again with Microset and wicked away - I then waited about ten minutes and brushed on some Microsol. I guess I need to leave this till tomorrow before putting anymore Microsol on if needed?

Old Collingwood Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share #336 Posted March 18, 2020 Next plan of action - I will brush onto the decals another coat of Microsol and leave it to set/dry again - will then do some work on the two rear stabs, they need priming then camo on top and Black lowers, they slide on when done so they can be treated as separate assemblies.

Old Collingwood Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share #349 Posted March 19, 2020 I have tried to rescue the canopy, I glued the edge on the inside where the crack started and then worked on the loose section that had fell out, this was glued back in then I did some tidy up, where the crack is visible I will paint a part framework and do the same on the opposing side so they match.
