Looking good Dave, I was hoping you were going to use AK 3 rd gen on this as you we're changing over so I see what you thought.

Glad you're feeling better Dave. Paintwork is certainly eyecatching. Have fun with all those decals.
John,
I'm still working my way through my Vallejo paints - I found a bottle of Model Air Blood Red lurking in my paint box - due to my Yorkshire nature, I'm not going to throw away useable paint!!! the AK3 replacement is still ongoing..........

I ws preparing for a decal session, when I realised that I needed to add the windows first! The Tamiya masks for the windows were a real pig to get centralised & took quite a few attempts. Anyway NOW I'm ready to start on those decals!
Not visible are the added light pods & mesh behind the front wheel arch slots............

I don't blame you one but, I've unfortunately got loads of Vallejo and Amig , only replacing with the AK3rd Gen when those are empty. Have bought a set of AK for the Mossie thought !
Decals - you have to be careful to add them in the correct sequence - there are white squares, which go underneath others ( those on the rooftop nearly got me! )
Some of the decals need applying over the two parts of the body assembled - I'll leave those until last - hopefully, I can carefully cut them along the joint lines after they've dried, so the engine cover can be moved. Like all decals, you go from large to small, and I'm leaving overnight drying time before moving onto the next session. I'm using MiG 2-part Decal solution..........

Nice progress Dave, doesn't look easy to get a smooth gloss finish with all the paint and decal stages... Have fun!
Getting close to finishing the decals...............
Taillights waiting to be added - only decals left are the side numbers. and the national flags of the drivers.................

Decals complete - chassis & body united....................
A few little bits to add - wing, windscreen wiper & aerial then there will be a bit of touching up to do before starting the final gloss varnish coats.
The next pictures will appear in the 'completed' section..................
