Touch ups done and two coats of Klear later and it was time for the decals. Tgese went on ok , quite glossy but very thin - care needs to be taken with the small stencils as they can fold over on themselves quite easily . Next is a coat of satin to seal everything in and then lots of little...- yak face

Dry fitted the wing bottom and found a couple of problems. First the bottom edge of the firewall was too low , stopping the wing from closing up , so about 2mm was sanded off .
