Good to know it's sorted mate. Ah, the joys of Bumbrol ... er, Humbrol !!

You done well Karl it's looking great mate, glad you got the paint sorted as well. I did make a suggestion yesterday in agreement with Terry but it didn't post. We are having a few internet connection problems at the moment not sure if it's service provider or line provider but it keeps dropping our.

Glad you got it sorted Karl. Never tried Vallejo paints myself.

thanks all

the following pics have highlited a few areas that still need another pass with the paintbrush and a small amount of PVA sorted a gap on the cowling joints.

i think it was my fault for not stirring the Humbrol enamel enough, but i've got the Vallejo blue now, which i think might be a shade lighter than needed but should be ok with a coat of future on it !!
