Hi si
Sorry mate - a lesson for all of us. When its late and we're tired none of us are at our best. I'm sure that coming at the rest in a better frame of mind it will all be good.

I feel your pain. Decals have been by far the trickiest thing for me so far. Hopefully we'll both have better luck next time
HI Si it was such a good build up until the decalls but to me they look ok except the recuse ones now this is not critisum of your build just tryin to help but cant you you just rewet the recuse signs an slide them off on to a very thin bit of plasticard an then repostion them rightly ? as that's what I do if I make a mistake on decalls

Should of kept my mouth shut Funny as my mrs said the same!Loving if Si .
I would not really have noticed the decals ,only because you said.
I just found Barry’s excellent build and saw the jig, now if only I could buy a bag of his skillsI'd never seen one of those until Barry's Mosquito thread. Looks like a very hand piece of kit for someone as clumsy as me!
That’s good advice, thanks PeteI have one of those stands Si. If you move one of the wing supports all the way up and the other all the way down, you can get at the fuselage sides reasonably well.
You still need to be very careful of where the rubber bands go (ask me how I know!) if you try to decal the upper surface before the lower decals are dry. I usually try to do the underside, take a break, overnight is good, then do the upper side.

Hiya mate,Ah, nice update Si, pitty of the decal issues but hey, this one has a personal touch now :D
I have a plane stand as well (adjustable plastic one) and these are very handy indeed, nice buy!

Hiya Mr. Benson,
Late, wine and decals are not a healthy combination Sir, especially when there are so many of them to be applied. On the bright side, when the pilot hangs his head out of the cockpit over the left or right side, he will read "rescue" correctly. Only when he is standing on the ground and looks up at his plane, he might say "That damn Si was drunk again!!!"
Other than that, Wouter has the right answer there!!!

HI Si I just cant understand your problem with decalls when you apply them don't you keep them on the backin paper as you lift them out of the water an then get them near the model an gently slide them off the backin paper onto the model an postion them where they should be that's how I do it an its very rare that a decal goes wrong

Hi Bob,Hi Si, I hardly drink and I still ruin decals lol
