Thanks Hugh.
Here's what it looks like so far. I've decided to probably re-paint a couple of areas, and apply a new roundel decal and possibly code letters to the rear, port side, as there is some heavy fogging and some 'crazing' of the matt clear coat in this area. I'll look at this and make a decision on what to do, when I get back from Duxford next week.
PIC 1. How it looks overall, with all the masking removed.
PIC 2. There's some 'fogging' of the matt clear coat around the 'Y' code letter and around the nose section, and a small rough area to the rear of the cockpit, near the wing root, where some paper tissue dust settled on the varnish The white specks and 'lines' seen on the clear parts in this and the following photo, are adhesive reside from the masking tape, and will be leaned off when the rough area is attended to.
The wider frames for the cockpit sliding windows have yet to have their edges drawn in with pencil.
PIC 3. There's a stress mark in the clear plastic of the nose glazing, in line with a frame on the port side. Fortunately, this can only be seen when looking directly down on the model, in certain lighting conditions. Further fogging of the matt clear coat can be seen at the base of the windscreen, and on the engine cowlings. This will be rectified by re-glossing, followed by a coat of Tamiya Flat coat, and if that doesn't work, I'll re-paint the areas.
Again, the wider frame for the emergency exit, created by masking, has yet to have the edges marked with pencil.
I won't get any more done now until the early part of next week, and I'm undecided whether to lightly sand the badly affected areas and re-paint and re-decal them. What started out as a good base colour finish, has slowly deteriorated into a mish-mash of rough areas and fogged matt clear coated areas, which Sod's Law dictated just
had to be in the areas where decals are !
