Thanks very much chaps, it's very much appreciated, as always.
Couldn't get Internet access yesterday - seems ice had frozen a local installation or something .
Still progressing with the decals, and got the national markings done, from the kit decals, and some of the code letters. The black letters are from a Microscale Bf110 sheet, and were a real pain in the jet pipe - one of the 'M's curled under at the top of one edge, and will need to be retouched, whilst another folded completely and was ruined. I managed to cut-down a slightly larger 'M' from another sheet, which went on without problems. However, I noticed that the style of both is wrong - the diagonal strokes should meet at the bottom, but do so part way down the center line, but I'm not going to try to change them at this stage.
The only white 'C's that I have are on a 'rub down' sheet, and I only have one, but I'm hoping I can cut a 'O' to suit, from the same sheet. Going to be tricky to align and apply, as I'll only have the one chance to get it right !
I should have some pics later today, and the good news is that most of the replacement DSLR camera gear should arrive today too, so I should be back in business.
