That's gorgeous! It's such a nice little kit that one. Kudos to you for getting all those decals to sit well.

The decals were very well behaved. I did use Vallejo Decal Fix and Decal Softener on them. The only issue is that they are very thin. I should have used a white primer underneath them. Also getting the bleed-through on the white in the roundels meant using three white disks under each roundel!

Wow, that is a real eye catcher, Andrew, very striking indeed. The decals sound like they were quite challenging but you've really made a great job of them.

That's fabulous Andrew. 8-) One of the prettiest Pups I've ever seen. Might need an epilepsy warning though. :)

I am tempted to say 'spot on, but that would not be appropriate.
