Look good

Can I be cheeky

If you are not using the Airfix decals could I have the set in the top left corner of the decal sheet? Some of mine fell apart as soon as they entered water.

Thanks

Tom

latest up date. i have mixed hu65 & hu 28 to give me rlm 76,
it says in the instructions and suggested on here that the mix is 60% hu65 and 40% hu28, but afer doing this it still looked to blue to me,so i mixed in more hu 28 and now i think its not to far off, if you want to mix rlm 76, i would say hu28 60% and hu 65 40%,
rlm 81 i used hu 155 and rlm 82 i used hu 116.
all i need to do now is paint prop blades and klear and decals.

That's coming on nicely, I'm well impressed with the stretched sprue aerial.

Nice one. I like it that you've identified the particular aircraft and chosen one with yet another scheme variation.
