OK. That's got the building part done. Just got to touch up some small gaps on the pylons and then I'll be painting.

While I'm here, I have another question. I've got another kit on the go (details later) and had to clean up a seam on the canopy. It filed off OK and I used a succession of finer grits to clean the sanding marks. I finished off with some toothpaste - as I don't have any polishing compound - and a soft cloth and got it looking OK. I've heard that canopies can be improved with a coat of Johnson's Clear, so that's what I did - brush painted some on. Does anyone know why my Clear has dried with a faint but very noticeable 'orange peel' effect?

PS I was sure I'd replied about the
decals masking - unless I put it on the wrong post or summat! Not sure which method to use yet, I'll maybe do some spare
decals on a bit of scrap using the same paints etc and try out the suggestions.
