Thanks Guys!

I've just ordered myself some decals from Hannants, and just for a laugh I've ordered a set of True details resin wheels (ok so I've now spent more on this than I did the kit - but heyho that's modelling).

Cheers

Made some more progress on the Wildcat - I've given it a couple of coats of Humbrol Clear and have made a start on the Decals...

I had a bit of an issue with the clear, I used the wrong brush which happened to be contaminated with a bit of red paint - so now I have some dark pink settled into of the recesses. Hopefully I can cover it up with a dark wash afterwards though.

The Prop is painted, and I'm just starting on the Drop tanks and Wheels. The antenna post snapped on the sprue so I need to scratch build another.

Cheers all!

Looks mighty nice, Stuart. Great paint work.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Guys - It's appriciated!

@Jim - yeah, I have two green handled flat brushes - one I always use for clear coats and the other I think was last used by my daughter to paint her 727 pink... guess which one I picked up :headslap:
