That's what I thought, but it's funny, and rather clever.
Got all of the relevant stencil decals on, and most decals sealed with a clear coat. Virtually all of the underside stencils would be covered by the AEAF stripes, so these haven't been used.
I'll let these fully settle before continuing, starting with the landing lamp and I.D. lamps beneath the wings. Then it'll be time to tackle the gun sight and armoured glass screen, which I'm expecting to be a little tricky, but we'll see.
Depending on my condition after the New Year celebrations (!), I may have some pics sometime over the weekend.
