Merci. Glosscoat going on this morning, then a bit of a wait.

Thank-you Lewis.
Below is a shot of the Future coat sprayed on. I'll let this dry for a couple of days before applying decals.
Below that is the tailwheel with hand painted white wall. The thing is so tiny and, since it was all one piece, it was impossible to mask, hence the hand paint. As for the steel strut, that was a result of a small incident where I tipped over a closed paint bottle which hit the elvator which broke the tail wheel that was only dry fitted at the time.

Nice work Andy. It took me three attempts to paint the white wall on the 1/32nd scale '109, so i know how hard it is do freehand.

Thanks guys. Took me 5 attempts between white and tire black. Still not perfect but it's as good as it's gonna get.

Looks OK to me mate. But if you're not 100% happy with it, splash some feint dirt on it - covers a lot of errors !

Very nice job on the tail wheel Andy. I painted the white part on mine, but I've been putting off the black part. Chicken I guess

Nice bit of delicate painting there Andy, you must have a very steady hand. Also had the same problem with my tail wheel, which is also now secured with a steel pin.
Like what you've done so far mate!8)
great job Andy

Some of the decals are now on and settled down with MicroSol. To be followed by a seal of Dullcoat and then weathering. I toyed with the idea of painting the crosses in a slightly faded black but I convinced myself to stick with the decals, despite the less desirable fresh-out-of-the-factory look.

looks great Andy

That looks good Andy. Re the thought of dirty decals, can you not smudge them with a dusting of powder, a bit of dark eye shadow would do it.
Looks great so far Andy!
