Well I started decaling today and they just broke up in the water, so after some choice words. I decided to paint them on. Not done much, but I’ve made a start.
Sorry I've looked in before Ian.
Love the idea of the painted roundels etc, they look really impressive. Your take on the wood is good, never an easy thing to replicate at the best of times.
One of my first builds was one of these from Airfix , way back in the depths of time , built and painted in a day of course and looked nothing like yours of course.
