The Silver paint looks good Remco. With the yellow spine, it’s quite an eye catching color combination.

I had two decal sessions today. The Ajeet has all the decals on but the Gnat still needs a few. The Special Hobby decals worked fine. The Airfix too but I am also using a few old Matchbox decals for this specific aircraft. The Matchbox decals are decidedly of a lesser quality.

Remco, those Gnats are looking real good with paint and decals now applied. Not too much more to on them I imagine.

Yes, progress is quite good. I just need to seal the decals, a wash, flat coat and then final construction. Sounds easy but at my normal pace that is going to take a month. :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:

Wash and semi gloss coat is on. So that is progress. However, in close inspection I do see seams on the bottom side. So that is something to watch out for with next builds.
