[COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]I was a bit worried about the decals being old and mabe not sitting well.[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]I cut out the big bottom crosses and they formed quite well. This was good news[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]Then I put the side decals on but again I was worried that the very large clear carrieffilm would show up even with the gloss and microso. [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]So I painstakingly used a scalpel and fine tweezers to cut out and remove all the carrier film between the letters and cross. [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]I will seat all the decals later with microsol,just to get it into the rivets nicely.[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]Overall I am very happy with the declas [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)] [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]Theuns[/COLOR]

I put the matt clearcoat on and the decals look very good, no silvering. I played arround a little with the matt coat - in some areas I have the paint a little "matter" and in patches a little very slightly more satin.
This simulates how the paint will fade diferent in diferent areas on the airframe, I am very pleased with the result

Latest, just a few more bits to do.
Weathering will be rather light, mostly just exhaust sainingwith Tamiya smoke.
