Hi Richard
So much to admire and learn from. Seat belts are great. Mottlling is fine - a tribute to good AB skills. Prop and wheels alterations have certainly made a difference.

Thanks Ralf and Jim, I believe that there no bad kits (bad instruction sheets perhaps ), if you're willing to put enough effort it might just turn out ok.
The decals were very old and were very brittle so care was taken on application. Any bits that tore were pieced back like a jigsaw puzzle.
Afert setting them down, a coat of varnish was sprayed and washes added.
