Some nice Evergreen strip if you have it Geo, slip into the gaps with a touch of glue and a little sand down "voila".

Camo sprayed, pics in a bit. The decal instructions note that they are unsure of the colour beneath the stars though the profile shows blue. To make things easy, they provided templates for the wing and fuselage stars so all I needed to do was measure and transfer to the circle cutter. Shown are the fuselage circles cut out of Oramask film

​

For the underlying circles I'm going with a light gray over Neutral grey and a darker green over Olive Drab

Did and done. I've never sprayed back to back colours before. Took a while to get the grey out before I shot the green. The colours may not be correct but I like it

​

Gloss coat later

Looks to have turned out very well, a nice subtle shade of green.

All decalled up save for the victory stars; I make out six

​

A bit of silvering to deal with and then I can clear coat the decals
