Looks like you've sorted it Andy, good for you.

Good recovery, Andy.
If that had been mine, I would have thought I had permanently ruined it; so it's good to see that recovery is possible.

Andy, I was about to say that a light rub down with some of the fine (1000+) sanding pads should reduce this, and after watching someone on YT with almost the same problem a couple of coats of varnish sorted out his problem, plus it reduced the gloss of the decals. But you have beaten me to it.
Thank you both. It's still visible to the naked eye but the camera hides it well :smiling5:
Had a good few hours on this today and made decent progress. There are still a few vulnerable bits to add but I'm getting closer to the finish line.

Coming together nicely mate, been trying to resist but finally gave in and just ordered this one for the stash.
Glad it's sorted 'cause the build is great and it would have bugged you :smiling2:
Looking very good Andy.
It has been a really enjoyable build. Just my kind of thing, with a great fit and thoughtful engineering.
Absolutely! Back to bulletproof lacquers for this kind of thing I think.
Cheers Doug
Flaps and under wing ordinance were fitted this morning. Both were such a tight dry fit that I haven't even bothered to glue the flaps. I didn't want to risk breaking their delicate brackets by removing them.
And finished.
I'll post some more pictures up later but here she is:

Looks the biz with the crew sat there as if waiting to go off the cats!!
That really is a SMART job!
So much so I've taken a grab of each piccy and saved them in my modelling folder as reference for when I build mine.
OOI, what colour/make paint did you use for the tips of the wing ordnance? Whatever it is, it looks nice.

I'm honoured John, thanks.
I used Mr Color olive drab, although I have many different shades of it and couldn't say which one, just the first one I grabbed.
