Will you need an extension or are you confident of getting it done? You seem to making good progress so far.

So as I finished at the bench last night I snapped a couple of shots before the gloss coat. The colors are Poly Scale RLM 81 and 82. I used the Blue Tack Rope method for masking.

Tonight looks to be a good night for decaling. On track for a Wednesday finish. (He boldly states)

Jeff, that looks really good and the paintwork is excellent. As of midnight tomorrow night this GB will close so I hope it's finished by then.

Very good, glad you could do a 2nd Blitz this month :grin:

From the photos, it doesn't appear the left swastika is quite upright or is that just the photo angles ?
