Holy malony Stuart, that looks fantastic !
How easy / difficult was it to attach the D-day markings ? Looks very very good

Thanks Gents!
Kari.
The wing decals went down well but I'm not sure if I'd bother with the fuselage bands. they didn't sit very well and I had to touch up a lot of it with paint. To be honest I normally paint my D-Day stripes but I thought I'd experiment with these as they were there, it was interesting but I wouldn't use them again.

Decals are ongoing - although I have most of them on now. I'm not 100% certain I like Mr Mark setter etc, but I'm glad I had a go with it. Next build will revert to Micro Sol/Set
Hopefully not so much more to do now.
Cheers!

That looks really good Stuart!!! I hear you with the wrap around bands though. I've done both and prefer painting myself.

I'm glad I tried the decals but yeah, painting is much easier!
