Many thanks Steph. I was not able to find much in the way of reference pics, so just followed what I had. As it is, I'll now stick with it.

Good work so far Vic!

Those belts don't look out of place on your nice model Vic.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Andy.

Good work on the Camo Vic, not an easy one and it does have slight variations in the application on some aircraft.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Wayne.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks a bunch guys for the kind words, advice and for showing interest. Good progress over the last couple of days. Decals all don and I will let the set and dry overnight, the slap on a dull coat overspray tomorrow.

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Karl.

Very nice Vic
Applying the decals is my favorite moment, it's at this moment that I think that the model comes to life

 

[Wayne Little]

Agree with Steph...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Steph and for me it is a nerve-racking time as one never knows how the decals are going to react, these for example were quite thick but needed to be placed quickly. On a couple of smaller ones I found they turned to an almost jelly like substance and had to be discarded.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Wayne. You must have posted while I was scribing.

Vic, maybe it's too late and maybe it's not very important but I just find that

The balkenkreuz under the wings are with the black outline (I think it's the same aircraft)

Oops, oops, oops...!!! Another "discovery", this Erla G-6 (Wnr.27169) doesn't wore the Erla standard camo

Eduard and the others (decal manufacturers too), apparently made a mistake regarding the camo scheme

 

[Wurger]

A fine kettle of fish ...

The word "B*ll*cks" comes to mind !
