That sounds colder than a cold thing Andy. Minus 5C is cold enough for me, especially as it's a damp cold here.
Anyway, I managed to get a couple of hours kip earlier, which has eased the pain and stiffness a bit, so I got to work, first correcting the damaged paint on the starboard cowling, and then applying the decals to the wheels and prop. The prop decals are from a Kits World sheet, and I wasn't that impressed, as the stencils immediately folded when moved, and the colour saturation on these, and the HS logos, was rather "thin".
Once the decals had set, a coat of Vallejo matt acrylic varnish was applied, but this has dried almost gloss, probably due to it being the last few drops in the bottle, and around four years old, possibly older. I have a new bottle, so I'll let the varnish on the prop fully harden for at least 12 hours, then try again with the new stuff.
The star decals on the wheels are from the Kagero sheet for this aircraft.
The rather brutal close-up pic below shows the damaged paint on the cowling, with the other pics showing the repair, and the work on the prop and undercart so far.
Hopefully, I'll be mobile enough to get some more done some time tomorrow (er.... later today!), with the gun sight, armour glass screen and windscreen to sort out, which I have a feeling is going to be rather fiddly work.
Thanks again for all the kind comments, and now I'm off back to bed !
