        Decals are on, will let them set up .....clear coat 'em and then do final assembly and repairs. Maybe I can get this finished BEFORE the deadline........'twould be nice to hold hands wif MR. Smiff and celebrate Last on Parade! :tongue-out3: In case yer wondering why I'm holding this in my hand, It's because "Floaty Boaty" Chris wanted to see how big? 1/87 scale is, so there's my grubby little paw with it's tiny treasure onboard.Click image for larger version

            Now all we’ve got to do is work out how big your hand is Rick. Looks great, by the way.

                    As well as the excellent aircraft, perhaps a tinlet of paint balanced on the end of each finger would give us a better idea of scale?

                        Well Rick I'd call that a success. Very colourful and very small.

                          Thanks Jim........I'm not out of the woods yet. Still have that troublesome MLG to deal with and hopefully the clear coat won't give me any trouble going over the top of this Alclad stuff. I'm also a little apprehensive about the canopy mask......:thinking:

                            Evening Rick, or might be morning , anyway looking really good. Just shows how small a scale you work in .

                              Thanks JR........just had a mishap....couple of bubbles on my bird popped 'em and hit 'em with Micro set and the numbers ran on both sides. :angry: not terrible but enough to turn the air BLUE. So what I thought might turn out to be a nice little build has come up and taken a great big gite out of my U-NO-WOT!!!

                                Well, I'm done with the decals and they ain't gonna get any better.......The gear is now on with gear doors and tires. I'll let that set up real good and we'll see if it will hold its weight when cured. Fingers crossed. When I unmasked the canopy......of course there was bleed under the tape line so I managed to carefully remove the excess paint and will try to polish the plexi a little tomorrow. All for now.Click image for larger version
