I found out something else. My attempt did fail, however, I did not sand down the step made by painting over masking tape. It left a very fine line visible to the eye. If you enlarge the image, you can see panel lines on the wing and fuselage behind the cockpit.

I photocopied the CanMilAir decals to experiment with placement of the nacelle flash. It looks like things will work out fine. Since the decal is newly applied, a bit of scotch tape will lift it. The other experiment is placing control surface decals. I cannot find any black drawings so this greyish one will have to do.

Did you decide leave the paint alone? It looks fine in the photos.

[lastvautour]

Yes, I just left it. There is no colour differentiation but it turned out OK.

Looks OK to me as well. The gray decals worked ok. I had the same issue with the F-84.

Thank you Gordon. I will keep trying to find a darker image.

Roll out 24 July 2023. Two months in the making and I am pleased with the results. The decals are from CanMilAir and represent a Mk 3D flown by 416 Sqn.

Fine looking model of the Clunk. The silver finish really represents the type. A great design for the Canadian environment with twin engines and a tough airframe.

Thank you Fraser. I serviced many in Goose Bay.
