Quite honestly Joe, you know the really, really small ones - we won't know if you don't use them all.......It's stencil decals next. Not been looking forward to that task...
No other way of keeping track of them really there are so many. I know I've put a few in a slightly incorrect position...I see you cross off the decals on the instructions as you apply them too.
They're not too bad Tony, and adhere well. I used Decalfix to enable them to settle into the recessed lines. They're quite thin. I worked the lower fuselage (some are tucked up under the high wing), from rear to front, then the same for the fuselage above the wing. Then the wing undersides, then the wing tops. After that I did the same method for the main decals. This way I didn't need to handle the model too much in areas where I had already applied decals.Beautiful looking model joe , im doing the same scheme now ian has kindly sent me his spare decals, not sure if im looking forward to all the stencils though!
Somewhere out there is a sadistic stencil designer Dave who knows modellers will try to emulate his work...stencils on modern jets are always a pain there are so any of them.
Its a scheme i really wanted to do joe as its the silver lightnings i remember seeing ( and hearing!!!) at the finningley airshows when i was a kid. Its just such a classic look , the natural metal and the big red white and blue roundels, cheers tonyThey're not too bad Tony, and adhere well.

It's a very attractive scheme isn't it? I'm glad I got brave and didn't chicken out with the green scheme.
