Did you include the whiskey distilleries late add-ons to the nose-art. Glenfarclas and Glen Livet were two. Andy at Scoonie Hobbies could maybe help there.

Pouges??????The Lightning is the F6 In 56 Sqdn marks .The decals are extra decals. I gave the Bucc a couple of coats of Kleer then put the decals on . When druy i sprayed the matt coat .The matt is an Acrylic artists varnish from an art shop. It comes in a small glass jar and thinned down .

An update onconstruction. I painted some spare (Well a decal from the buccaneer kit a very light greyyellow colour.This will be cut into strips and used to go around the canopy seal. I have a small collection of 1/144 airliner decals that i use to make de icing strips etc. The u/ carrige doors, wells, legs, exhuast pipes have all beenpainted . I reckon by thursday it should be finished. If you take 3 years for the c-97 then thats good going. The harvards took me 3 weeks each.
