Nice progress

[colin m]

Don't you hate it when you nip to the shed to get the tools to fix a leaking toilet, only to end up painting invasion stripes......

Oh yes, happens all the time around here. But the build, all looking great. I'm pleased to read you're an Alclad convert.

Got some replacement stars and bars, anyone spot what's wrong with them?
Should of checked before applying them.
(Also need to tidy my bench.....)

[Mark1]

:thinking:hmm mine dont look as blue.

[KarlW]

:thinking:hmm mine dont look as blue.

Or as big.....

[Mark1]

Oh yeah!! Looking at my decals there the size of what goes on the fusalge and smaller for the wings.

[KarlW]

My fuselage ones are spot on, the wing ones should be one size up, but I've got 2 sizes up..... they'll have to do though.

[Mark1]

I wont tell anyone

I thought so, but no, needs a new "donut" for the close coupled cistern, and the one I bought on the way home was the wrong, albeit standard, size. Suppose I better get it fixed if I want to nip to the irish Nationals tomorrow.

[KarlW]

Oh no , what happened karl ? It was looking great .

Getting up from the bench in too big of a hurry to shut the dog up on a Sunday morning, was having a row through the fence with the neighbours visiting sons daschund.......
Had the port side all decalled up and the UC in place too.

[yak face]

Ouch ! The breaks look fairly clean , maybe it will be salvageable ? Obviously the wingtip is going to need a bit of filling and repainting but the wing root joints and tailplane should go back together with little mess .
