I have to agree with that Dan.Wayne have better been writing down all the additions for whenever this enters competition.Kevin
 
Wayne, words fail me. You with the help of others have done a stupendous job sir. My hat is off to you and the others. This is nothing short of amazing. I did notice that you used masking tape to stripe the prop cones. If I may make a suggestion, 3-M makes a striping tape in different widths from 1/16 up to 1/2 inch. It is very plyable so you can make compound curves like the cone somewhat easier. The catch is it is just a little pricey. The best place to find it is a automotive paint store. They usually carry this or can get it for you. Hope this helps in the future sir and again, amazing work.

Thanks Guys, appreciate your comments, moving slowly but surely....adding things now that I wasn't going to before, now time is not the enemy.

Will check out that 3M tape Aaron, see if it is around down here...
 
Good suggestion on the 3M tape Aaron, which has reminded me of another type of tape. The Graphics industry used to use some very fine tapes, in various widths, from as small as 1mm, possibly smaller, for drafting and PCB design. These are flexible, and can follow fairly sharp compound curves, and are ideal for line work, stripes, multiple stripes and, especially, spinner spirals. They aren't cheap, but by modelling materials standards not too expensive, and come in rolls of from (IIRC) 10 meteres upwards.
I don't know if the company is still in existance in the UK and the USA, but IGM were a major supplier. Might be worthwhile checking with a Graphic Arts/Printing supplies outlet.

Finally had some time to do some Ju-88 work....which disappeared rather quickly....been playing around with how to do the curtains now the Canopy masks are off and I can see where things need to go.

Used some thick plastic card shaped it to look like some pulled back curtains, bit of paint a strip of plastic for the strap, some pastel in the recesses and
