Three coats of Klear have been apllied and today I added all the decals.
Just needs two coats of matt varnish and the fiddly bits adding.

Looking good, those decals have bedded down nicely into the panel lines, did you use a softening agent?

Yeah I did. I brushed micro sol on the plane, applied the decal then brushed on some more micro sol. Once I'd applied all the decals I brushed them all with micro set and left the model over night et voila. No silvering that I can see and the decals bedded down nicely.

Here she is finally finished.
Overall I'm pleased with this build, even though I lost a couple of decals while applying the matt cote (next time I'll seal the decals with a coat of Klear) and the aerial wire doesn't look great up close.

| Great build. I know from experience it can be difficult getting the newer sprues to work with the older ones on this boxing, so well done! |
