Power Plant looks good Andy. Seated by JR wishing he bought Yorkshire Tea.
Thanks Lee. There's always plenty of Yorkshire tea avaliable here, even decaf for those that can get a little over stimulated.

Thanks Steve.

Grabbed a few minutes this morning and mixed a colour for the front skirt using Light Gull Grey and Tan. Not exactly right but much closer than the xf-59 Desert Yellow suggested by the instructions:

Blue is on. I'll let it settle for a day or two then crack on with the decals

Yes, the decals are something I'm not looking forward to! I have a variety of lotions & potions, and a heat gun if I really need it, but with the metro being quite boxy there shouldn't be too many compound curves to worry about.

Famous last words.... :tears-of-joy:
 
Looks good Andy.

For decals, I find warm water helps pre-soften the decals and makes them easier to conform. I use a AirWick Wax Melter, but I think USB coffee warmers would work just as well.

Thanks everyone.

I'm currently working my way through the cartograf decals which are perfectly sized and conforming well so far.

It might take a while so I've stocked up in case anyone needs another brew
