Nice one! If it was me I would consider cutting those huge decals into sections along the lines of the patterns...

Peter,
what ever you do, do not follow the paint guide for the black leading edge of the wings. If you do it will leave you short and you'll see orange between the black edge and decal.
I painted the black twice as deep to make sure the decals went over the area. I ended up having to use three sets of decals in the end to get it right, see my build and heartache on here somewhere
I have the decals scanned onto my PC as Revell won't send out replacements anymore due to it been an out of production kit now

I have this kit also and personally witnessed Adrian's battle with the decals.On the basis of this the box as been double taped and but into a safe place till a later date. I'm sure with some careful thoughtful preparation everything will be fine. Ade might even give you the measurements for the tapered paint on the wings. Good luck hope it goes well for you Peter cheers John

Next update I have got the front nose end finished and the cockpit went in OK and I have masked off the canopies as well plus the first coat of gloss blackView attachment 273643 View attachment 273644

Shiny sticky gloss black paint work, and a cat hiding in the back ground just waiting to shed a hair or two.

Nice work so far Peter

 

[peterairfix]

Time for a quick update the rear half has gone together well with no issues and the first under coat and the gloss black.View attachment 275225 View attachment 275226 View attachment 275227

Now got the thing finally painted and I hope that I have got the black on the leading edge the right width.
This will be it for a bit as I don't want to muck it upView attachment 275421 View attachment 275422

Looks very nice Peter. However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that stbd main gear is either on the wrong side or is back to front.

It must be spring, people are starting to spray outdoors. But yes, the black and orang looks really good.

 

[peterairfix]

Almost finished I have sorted the undercarriage and only a small amount of parts left so I won't be long before its finishedView attachment 278200 View attachment 278201 View attachment 278202 View attachment 278203
