Great start Gary- looks like you're immersing yourself into "challenging construction" already! Love the narrative too!

Cheers Andy. I'll try and keep the narrative going. I'm loving my little research journey through the Jan Zumbach years. Pity I wasn't ready for the Hurricane build, the work you guys did there was superb. If I can get to even a third of the way to yours and others skills, I'll be happy.

Hi Gary, nice pre-shading! Regarding your question about decals the 3 & 4 looks good. With some washes at the end they will be ok. If you want to take them out (if the paint is not clear coated) will be tough not to damage the paint, even for acrylic paint. If the paint is protected with clear varnish before application, with a brush and water you can do it. cheers

Cheers Micky. I've learnt my trade on this forum and so definitely clear glossed before hand. I'm still debating in my mind what to do. Thanks for the encouraging comment. 👍

Great, with acrylic paint plus clear gloss you can do it, very careful waiting for the decal to separate(the decal will be destroyed of course) . At the end maybe the gloss coat will be gone but the paint should stay.
Anyway IMO the numbers are pretty good, if you cover them with another gloss coat then you can apply a black and brown wash, let it dry for a couple of hours and remove it with a kitchen paper and the result will be fine. Looking forward for the result of this interesting Heller kit of a French Morane! cheers

Thanks Pierre. Almost there. Had to print some of my own decals which slowed me down and then horror of horrors I gloss varnished for panel wash and stupidLy did not protect the canopy which has clouded up as a result. So I'm a bit cross with myself. Pressing on though as I've already started the Hawk 75 cockpit for Zumbach's next plane. I'll try and get final pics up this week.
