Stencils on wings are done. Left side fuselage is done with the exception of shark mouth, eyes, and checker band for top rudder. Those will be done last after the stencils are done.

Decal session is finally finished. I need to let the setting solution dry on the shark mouth before handling. I may have to brush more a little more on for it to sit smooth on the nose curve. Once that’s done to my satisfaction, a shot of flat clearcoat to seal it all in.

Since ya'll were getting impatient in seeing the pics, here she is. I just clearcoated it a few minutes ago so all is left are the basic stuff before i call it done.

The sharkmouth decal settled down nice & flat on the curve on the nose. I didn't need to worry about putting a second coat of Micro Sol on it.

Very nice! Aircraft always look better with a shark's mouth on the nose.

Yeah, especially when they're white ones. A pain to. emember which end is up against a lighter blue background of the decal paper.
