    Always nice to see a fine decal job, John @j-healy.
    Your Blenheim looks great!
    It (as we, also 🙂 ) will be eagerly waiting for you to re-engage, after your 10-day break.
    Well done so far!

    And with 10 days drying time, I expect the decals will have settled by then - strong tailwinds and happy landings on your journey John.

    Back to the Blenheim! I made a lot of progress yesterday. I need to cleanup the wash a bit and take care of some small details today. The finish line is near.

    Superb work on your Blenheim, John. Just catching up on your build now. With all that nice detail in the cockpit currently covered up be masks, I bet you can't wait to get them off as you finish up. How did you do such a smooth clear coat? It looks flawless.

    I used Xtracolor gloss enamels to begin with, Colin. I gave it a brushed coat of Future, decals sealed with Future, enamel wash, and finally a dull coat today. I’ll install the turret and wrap it up in the next few days.

    Looking wonderful after coat, John.
    That canopy looks great after removing the masks.
