Alan, Eugene, Tony & Andy
Thanks for stopping by and your comment
I am at that stage now where lots of really small fiddly time consuming bits need doing.
I have just noticed on the picture showing the red painted navigation light that there is a darker grey patch around the outside of the light, this is where it is still wet after touching up, I used to much thinner in the red and it started acting like a wash, oops

When I last built models many moons ago I never really managed to get the hang of water slide decals. So after I finished the guns I dug out my test kit and started playing with the declas, a couple ruined but got the hang of it so started on one of the planes. The black cockpit was very tricky as had to fold over the cockpit. Picture is work in progress which is why it is still wearing a gloss coat, have put aside now to let the microsol dry out will then finish the rest tomorrow

2 x E13A "Jake" aircraft all decalled up, just need to leave over night to allow the setting agent to completely dry out then add the final matt varnish EDIT Since posting the pictures I noticed I missied the white 'marker' lines on the insides of the flats, they have now been added    One to give some sort of scale

The planes look great and will be perfect once you get the matt on them, are the cockpit frames etch or decals? Steve

Steve Thanks Steve The cockpit frames are molded on to the platic, the black s a decal, it was one sheet that you had to gently fold over. The microsol has done a great job of dissolving the carrier film where the frames are. Hope that makes sense I also noticed I missed the white marker lines on the insides of the floats so they have been added now too

Dave That is some really painstaking effort your putting into this one but the amount of detail is incredible. Hope all that fine work is not hurting your eyes too much. Happy Modelling
