    a few more bits on, then the first few decals went on OK, they have a milky something, maybe the glue which I removed from the first few but the print came away from under this one as I was trying to clean it, plan B ? !

    Excellent job so far but pity for the decals, my friend @kalamazoo.
    Really bad when they fall apart. Looking forward to your solution.

    A pity the decals won't cooperate, Allan @kalamazoo
    Are you able to paint those larger red areas?

    stick with plan A, some Micro decal film helped with the smaller decals, more care also, moving them from one piece of backing paper to another, will touch up with paint as John suggests.

    That looks really great, Allan. Xtradecal makes a sheet of pre WW2 RAF roundels in 1/72. I picked one up to eventually use on my Matchbox Siskin and Fury.

    Excellent way of applying the antenna wires, Allan @kalamazoo
    It clearly shows how strongly you attached them to the tail.

    calling it finished, do you notice any thing unusual for my models ?

    Nice one crossing the finishing line Allan. Not entirely sure about the unusual bit, but I did notice the propeller mount and the fuselage/wing struts?

    That's a beautiful finish, Allan @kalamazoo
    Not entirely sure either what you mean, except that all of them are really nice.
