Thanks guys. Looking for stuff to do while the clear sets up and realized that I forgot the panels around the exhausts. In the colour photo they appear quite dark and in the B&Ws they are washed out so I went with the colour. I mixed Vallejo Chrome and Jet Exhaust, 2:1. It is what it is

Looking great Geo, and good work on the exhaust panel - looks just right.
I believe these were stainless steel, and discoloured with heat, so a great replication of the effect.

Thanks guys. not doing much at the moment other than stressing out. My gut-shot, due in three hours still hasn't arrived yet. at least to my knowledge. It's usually here days in advance and they always call

Thanks Greg. Arrived three hours late and I think the doc was in a rush. The most painful gut shot I've had in the last two years

Ouch! Injections are bad enough but I'd imagine one in the gut would never be comfortable. Hope you're better for it.

Thanks again Greg. This shot is helping to keep me alive along with a once a day pill; so far so good. Anyhoo.... decals added to the left fuselage. Along with the now constant dread of ruining the unique codes and name I was worried about lining up the two part codes and that the dark area around the exhaust would show through the nose art. All came out could and as I have been doing when laying down Lifelike decals, I'll gloss coat these and do the right side. Eight more decals not including a few stencils, sticky-outy bits,some weathering and final coat and done

That's looking great! The stand is pretty cool too.
