Started about 18 months ago and carrying on with my attempts to reduce the Shelf Of Doom. The kit went together without many problems however which looked good were truly awful to apply, they were very thick and I doubt they would have reacted to sulphuric acid let alone decal solution. As a consequence I got Printscale set 48-065 and chose to use the markings already detailed.

The purists will possibly put their head in their hands but the finished article looks close enough for me. It is no further aftermarket items were used and it is brush painted mainly with Humbrol Hu11 with a little Hu191 in places.
