Thanks Bill...............................................Moving on............................
Decals all sorted though it was a bit hectic at times. The kit is only 13 years old and being 2nd hand I've no idea how it was stored over that time and some of the decals even though coated a couple of times with Liquid Decal Film, they still wanted to fracture particularly the Balkenkreuz. The cowling flags came up short on flag, the kit provided 10 flags in 3 sets of 3 and a single, there was also no tail fin swastika decals. As luck would have it I had all that I needed in the spares box.

A bit more weathering and a couple of coats of protective coat over the decals and well start the final build. If its a good day tomorrow we should be done.

Thanks for looking in my friends, your many words of praise are much appreciated.)

I'm calling this one done. My thanks to all for you interest, encouragement and help with this build, it was a fun build where I was able to throw in some experimental tests with the airbrush and try out new paints and achieving what I feel were some satisfactory results.

Now to turn my attention to GB58 and my couple of Italian Falco.
