Today the clear gloss coat was applied and this evening I started to place the many stencils. Eduard's decal sheet is very clearly printed and, as usual, the stencil sheets contain a few extras of some of the smaller stencils.

Good eye, No.1! They don't match intentionally. When the invasion stripes were brush painted the bottoms often were quite ragged. I had the good fortune to visit with a mechanic who helped apply the stripes just before D-Day in his squadron (P-47s). He explained that they didn't really work very hard to get straight lines, especially under the fuselage where there was little room to work, because they were in a great hurry to apply the stripes.

Sorry to say, I have had little time to devote to this build and I apologize for my lack of progress. A few decals can be applied in spare minutes over a sip of coffee but other chores....... :-wall :-wall :-wall I can say that the Royal Class decal sheet is a supreme pleasure to work with, as usual with an Eduard kit. :-ok The lower roundels are a good example, having to fit over a large fairing. I applied each and used some MicroSol decal solution on them and they both laid down perfectly without a wrinkle or tear!

Finally last night I placed the last decals and now the final flat clearcoat can be applied this weekend. Perhaps even a start on the oil leaks and weathering if time allows.....
