I've now unmasked the markings and taken this snapshot in the fading light. I will apply a decal for the 'ROYAL NAVY' because making it up from the very small, individual, letters I have has proven a step too far.

Why paint the markings? At this scale it is not too difficult and painted on markings always look better than decals. I like the idea of weathering the markings with the rest of the paintwork (though not in this case, a rare almost prototype aircraft). Also you control the colour. I've matched mine to various references, including ones like this.

These colours are something that many decal sheets get wrong.
