No - I'm using the AK interactive Chrome and Polished Aluminium. Lovely stuff when airbrushed on but seems very fragile, basically rubs off even when I used the recommended Gauzy sealant!

Pretty much done now. Quite a few issues with the nose decals which meant I ended up hand painting the nose scheme. Looks OK from a distance though :)

That brings back memories. My very first airshow at RAF Horsham St Faiths (now Norwich International Airport) way back in the late 1950's.
The ony thing I remember was four jets making a cartwheel in the Sky - Skyblazers trade mark.

Where did you get the decals please?

That was my very first air show too :thumbs:

Next was my beloved Colt in 1960, with 9 Lightnings, and I was hooked for life :lol:

That looks very good indeed mate. Fine job you have made of the nose.
I know that feeling when the decal folds over itself or falls to bit s... Nightmare


Well done

Chris
