One thing I can't stand with modern aircraft, there are just so many stencils to apply. Looking good so far though.

 

[woody]

Well got a good start on the decals

Iam not real happy with the seats there not glued yet i will do some more on them.

Looks good though Jerry.

Good stuff so far. Not sure about those seat harness colours though - modern harnesses tend to be a brown or green colour, depending on which part of the harness.

The instructions didnt have a call out for that and i dont know squat about these things so maybe somebody will chime in.

Easy enough Jerry, just mask off the area so that you only have the screen exposed and using an air brush and a Clear Green such as Tamiya X25 mixed with a drop of thinners. Giving plenty of space between the screen and the air brush, pass a light spray over the screen, check the effect and if required pass the air brush over again. Needless to say, practice a bit on a spare piece of clear plastic first.

 

[woody]

Thanks Vic I will give that a try.

There is also green cellophane. As long as it is a flat screen, it can be glued to a piece.

 

[Wayne Little]

Good suggestions....pick one!
