    Finished all touch-ups, did the navigation lights with clear paint. Off to the paint shop for a satin coat!

    All those long decals turned out well

    Indeed George, @blackadder57, despite the fact that they were made in 1988. It took AGES and hot water to come off their backing, sheet, some would refuse to disengage (!) and I had to apply force, tearing some of them. Luckilly, I managed to salvage them and put them on their corresponding surfaces. Mr Mark Softer (not Mr Soft of Cockney Rebel !) took care of the rest.

    Anyways, finished the satin coating paint shop session.

    Tomorrow will unmask the canopy (hey! I masked a canopy!) to assess the situation...

    All the best, my friend!

    Fantastic work Spiros - what a start this is going to be for the group! The finish looks exceptional. Not quite ‘congratulations’ yet, but I can feel it coming!

    Thanks Paul @yellow10! Canopy unmasked and treated (hey, I did canopy masking and disaster did not happen...), gunsight fitted. Ready to treat the gunsight-fusealage joint, touchup the upper cockpit colour, fit that canopy and call it done...
    Keep up, EoJ GB!

    I smiled when you mentioned unmasking a canopy and it NOT being a disaster. I think we all go through that pretty much every time, Spiros! Lovely job!
