Another superb paint job with perfect weathering. I wish i could get my effects as good as that!

Once again though have a play with some decal techniques, the ones across the back are noticably silvered which indicates they are not adhered properly to the surface.

I can only agree with Richard above, Very impressive work,

Not sure if you can get Decal Cote where you are (It was made by Humbrol so may be rare by now, there are other similar products on the market though) it will certainly help get rid of the silvering caused by the background on the decals. It is 2 part stuff, one coat is applied before putting the decal on and then the other coat goes on after.
Decals are always hard to disguise on matt surfaces anyway but other than that I love the work you have done on this one.

Keep the pics coming as they are certainly fine looking models.

Regards......Mark
