Decals nearly done.

Left the nose decals until I have finished attaching the canopy.

I used a set of Nova Scale decals I've had for years. They went on quite well.

I have a set for the Bristol fighter ( in Australian Service WW1) . MMmmmm definitely back on the list.

Bit more quality control around canopy . Last decals then she's done.

Thank You Lou.

She's finished.

The decals are very thin and I did have a few foldups. Lost some retrieved some mainly the small ones.

Picture perfect Gordon. I am amazed at that finish. What type of clearcoat did you use?

May I repost these images to Facebook and flickr

You have certainly captured the look of the Vampire. The paint is beautiful and the cockpit with pilot adds the finishing touch.
