Ive decided that before I make the final submission i will go back and try and clean up the horrible mark in the white band on the tail . Apart from that one mark, i am generally happy with the outcome. The blemish relates back to the trouble I had with the decals, but i think I have a way to fix it....wait a couple of days until the decals and the paintwork is well and truly hardened, then gently mask up each side of the white stripe. then carefully airbrush that strip to get rid of the blemish.
The mark is just so awful and ruins what is really an otherwise pretty build. if it goes right I will die a happier man. if it goes wrong, you will probably hear me wailing from wherever you are in the world
