Right sorry for the lack of progress.

Since the last pictures the Mossie has has 2 coats of klear ready for the decals to be applied. The decals went on great and were excellent to work with. Although even with 2 coats of klear and laying the larger ones on wet klear there was still some silvering in places. A pin and lashings of Microsol took care of most of this but some still remains. Finally a coat of Xtracrylic flat varnish finished it off. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this build and would reccomend it to anyone

So here it is done



More pictures in the gallery. As always any comments more than welcome

Nice build Daniel   Your decals seem a lot more opaque than mine but then again yours did not break up.

Thanks guys. The decals were very thin and in hindsight I should have painted that stretch of the wing in white first
