Cheers geoff , it looks a little bright in this pic but its directly under the led lights ,once its had some weathering , a coat of matt and under better lighting it will be a lot more subdued .
Back onto this after a little holiday , the decals have been applied , little strange with the sheet though - there's quite a few stencils on the decal sheet but no mention of where to put them . I thought it was just because its a Weekend boxing but after looking at the instruction sheets of a couple of the Profipack versions they dont seem to have any stencil placement diagrams either !?
I even went on Eduards website and had a look at their downloadable instructions but again came up blank.
So it looks like its just going to get the main decals , here it is after a panel line wash , next is a clean up , matt coat then a bit of light weathering/ exhaust staining .

Lovely job so far Tony. Does this help for the stencils?
Looking good Tony.
Coming along very nicely Tony
Very odd no instructions for the stencil placement being included

Missed this, sorry. Looks a great kit, seems to have gone together straight forwardly - just the wing fit needed work. Very nice paint job.
Fantastic !Thanks so much . How did you find that joe ? I looked on the Eduard website , on the profipack instructions for the royal navy dual combo and didnt find anything ? Once ive cleaned off the wash I’ll get the stencils on now ,cheers tony
I do like those stumpy little things! Coming along nicely Tony!

No worries Tony, I looked on Scalemates. Had to search a few kits before I found one that had the stencil placements in the instructions.
Bit of a hiccup with the stencils , the image Joe thoughtfully found for me is excellent , however the stencils I had left on the sheet had different letters allocated to them ! Luckily they are JUST readable under the magnifier so it was simply a case of finding the right ones on the sheet and matching them to the drawing . Anyways theyre all applied and it really does make a difference . The model has now had a coat of Klear to seal them in and give a uniform finish , next is a couple of light coats of matt then a bit of weathering.
As much as I dislike stencils, they have made a positive difference to the look of the aircraft, Tony. Glad you were able to read them!
That’s a cracking job Tony and what a lovely paint scheme

I think Eduard could have done a better job on the undercarriage Tony, but a cracking job on the rest.Ha Ha
Great highlighting of all that detail. Nice work you and Eduard.
It’s looking great Tony.
Tony that's a great looking build.
Lovely work Tony.
This is coming on a real treat. Like Joe I hate those little stencils but they have made a big difference here.
