Thanks my friends John and Spiros, ----------
Or I can take the easy option and leave it as is, masking off the windows, they need a bit of a touch up, masking on for the anti icing strips, tried hand painting them but was looking too messy.

I think Hu11 always had an issue - and later alternatives from Humbrol are less grainy. Well, decals on, de-icing boots painted it may be OK. Of course a direct artificial light does nothing to help the looks, so probably will look a lot better in natural daylight?

"Leave as is" sounds perfect, my friend @kalamazoo! Looks super anyway! Looking forward to your progress!
John vd Biggelaar said 2 years, 4 months ago:

She will look beautiful as is, especially with the decals on, Allan @kalamazoo
