Thanks, Kevin. I just hope I can use some from the kit, but I’m is 0 for 2!

Well, a bit more done with decals. Managed to salvage a few from the kit decals, but most are reprinted and then cut apart. Some are not very accurate, but that is my rusty cut and paste skills. The more I look at it, the paint is growing on me.

That is looking Lyle crispy and very good!

What of those decals were self-made? Impossible to tell from the picture, they all look perfect!

All but the white bar and white one were reprinted. The cowl markings were printed on white and cut out to leave the white trim. The white crosses were cut on the Silhouette cutter and each piece placed.

Lyle, she is looking great! I love it thus far! Can’t wait to see more.

Especially for the trouble this kit gave you in some areas you made it look like it didn’t!

Thank you, Joe. For not having done any airbrushing of that sort for several years, I can live with this. Now, if I can "glue" a couple of loose ends on the white chrosses with Future...

I figured out why that piece of the white cross would not lay down properly
:bag: :bag: :bag:
It seemed to be more stiff than the other pieces

Yes, I applied the backing, not the decal to the aircraft
