Andy, Phil, thanks for looking in A little more progress made. I have attempted something new for me...using bluetac to form the camouflage See for yourself the results below. First pic is 2 coats of Sea Grey. Second is the masking with bluetac. I put pieces of masking tape on to remind me which colour goes where (easily confused  ). Final picture is after just one coat of Dark green. CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

Wow that`s some cammo job and I like the method you`re using. Got one of these in my stash, so will be looking back to your build for inspiration when mine happens. Good luck in the comp. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi guys, With the deadline drawing closer, i started on the preparation for the decals. A few places needed touching up, but the 'bluetac' method works quite nicely, softening the edges. Here are a few shots before the decals are mounted. CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):
