Some kind gentleman has pointed out to me I’ve made a boo boo with one of the decals. I’m putting it down to a senior moment, but I will sort it out.

Yes No.1 put on back to front. That's what happens when your not concentrating and talking to the wife while decaling.

Yes the whole black line and two boxes are one decal, it need turning around so the boxes are further away from the bow of the ship.

Still looks good to me Ian.

Thanks Tim.

[papa 695]

Got most of the flight deck decals on now.

Complex deck markings aren’t they…..coming together well though Ian. I see you have removed the recalcitrant number one….what’s the plan for replacement?

[Mark1]

Progressing nicely :thumb2:
