    A little bit more progress, painted the yellow sections on the front of the wings and made a start with the decals, the decals are quite nice to work with, 10 seconds in the water and there good to go.

    Had a coat of mr color sm 201 silver, after having a go with the chipping fluid on the cowling and not being particularly happy with it ive decided to go with the masking fluid chipping method, the results are much more predictable.
