The red/black scheme makes the fender/bonnet vents stand out pretty and impressively, David.
John,
I'm still working my way through my Vallejo paints - I found a bottle of Model Air Blood Red lurking in my paint box - due to my Yorkshire nature, I'm not going to throw away useable paint!!! the AK3 replacement is still ongoing..........

I ws preparing for a decal session, when I realised that I needed to add the windows first! The Tamiya masks for the windows were a real pig to get centralised & took quite a few attempts. Anyway NOW I'm ready to start on those decals!
Not visible are the added light pods & mesh behind the front wheel arch slots............

I don't blame you one but, I've unfortunately got loads of Vallejo and Amig , only replacing with the AK3rd Gen when those are empty. Have bought a set of AK for the Mossie thought !
Decals - you have to be careful to add them in the correct sequence - there are white squares, which go underneath others ( those on the rooftop nearly got me! )
Some of the decals need applying over the two parts of the body assembled - I'll leave those until last - hopefully, I can carefully cut them along the joint lines after they've dried, so the engine cover can be moved. Like all decals, you go from large to small, and I'm leaving overnight drying time before moving onto the next session. I'm using MiG 2-part Decal solution..........
