Beautiful work as always Tony.

What's caused that mottled effect on the tailplanes - or is it just down to the camera?
There is a slight bit of texturing on the kit part dave but I think the camera has added to it a bit too . It doesnt look like that in real life . The camera on this new iphone 16 pro is too clever for its own good - it alters the images sometimes without asking , very annoying , and the makro close up lens is rubbish , it makes the images really grainy . For close up shots I have to move away till the lens changes from makro to normal ( it automatically switches between lenses , theres 3 !) then zoom in and take the pic . My old Iphone 11 was far better for taking good pictures - progress ? Dont think so

Coming along very nicely Tony. Nice work with the figure ( not the best figure casting wise)
Cheers Ian , yes its hard enough trying to do faces at the best of times but in 1/72 its worse

Well the 50 odd year old decals performed brilliantly , they took a bit of soaking but were tough as old boots , not much carrier film and no yellowing . They have all been applied now just leaving them to fully dry then its going to get a sealing coat of varnish , not sure yet if its going to be gloss or satin . Next job after varnishing is the control cables and any rigging I can do before the top wing goes on IMG_6985.webpIMG_6986.webpIMG_6988.webp
