That is looking great Alan. There were a could of already made 1/24 planes in a Charity Shop in my local town, these aren't as big as I first thought, looking forward to building mine, your tips are a great help to all of us doing this plane for the SIG, thanks for documenting it!!

thanks for that Mike I just do the basics in getting around problems and they work but if you spend a bit more effort like most do on here you'd never know they had any problems at all :smiling3:

Thanks very much chaps :smiling3:

It's drying off quite well now so I could have this done by early next week View attachment 94687

I managed to get the rest of the camo on last night , oil paint is good, if you do get a finger print on the paint it easily brushes out and that can be hours after it's been applied :smiling3:

Thanks chaps I appreciate the kind comments:smiling3:

Decals now finished on the top side and now it's looking like a spitfire I think I'm going to leave it now so the micro-sol can do its work and see how many bubbles I have to prick as this is rivet city and I just know I'll need one or two more goes :smiling3: View attachment 95070
