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.

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

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

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.

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

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, 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
