Thanks Paul, I'm hoping a dazzling paint job will distract people from the flawsAndy,
Your paint work is always on another level mate, she is looking well tasty.
I wouldn't be surprisedIs that ice on the screen of the thermometer?![]()
Well,I for one, like that very much Andy.... great jobThanks Joe. I'm enjoying this part but know there's more drama to come
I got the wasp decal on today. It's far from perfect as it is split into 3 pieces along panel lines and has a few compound curves to negotiate, as well as the gun & cannon openings. Pretty happy that it's on though, and with a few touch ups here & there it should be fine.

Peeling the decal film off is an exercise in patience. I tried a few methods, first dissolving it off with mineral spirits which was fast, but I was a bit heavy handed and removed some of the actual ink as well in places.
So onto the "peeling" method. After trying a few different tools I found a good old toothpick worked the best for me, lifting up an edge and gently scraping the film off.
I only bothered with the larger decals as they settled pretty well anyway so I didn't feel the need to mess with the tiny ones, but it was good to have a play around.
Here's how some looked after removing the film
