Mr DLooking good 👌 looks like a quality kit.

Mr DLooks really good Ricardo 👌, the cockpit looks great 👍
That wheel bay colour? I have to use a very similar colour on the IAR-80 I'm building, l think is was similar on my FW-190.
How do you find the Eduard decals with the film ?? Is it better idea??
Look forward to next step's 😃👍

Ricardo ReisThank you Mr D. Wheel bay color is RLM02. and cockpit is RLM66; I must confess I do not like these new decals, specially the smaller ones; I managed to ruin some stencils 🙁

Mr DThanks Ricardo 👋.
Yes l think Eduard would be better going back to standard decals.
I think the idea was to stop them breaking up on awkward surfaces?? But l don't like the idea.
Appreciate the pain tips.
😁👍👍👍

Ricardo ReisWelcome Mr D; one more thing I learned is not to use Micro Set to position them; I always use Micro Set before Micro Sol, because it makes the decals slide very easy on the surfaces; not with these ones: Micro Set makes them extremely soft and mushy, and they wrinkle and that's how I ruined a few; to position them I recommend using only water

Mr DAhh. ... Ok, thanks Ricardo 👍
As l may do the Eduard Albatross in the future..
A bit of isopropanol n water works as a softener, l watch a YouTube vid about it and it.work well.
Cheers 😃👍
