HI all. I haven't been here for quite some while and seek to amend that. To start with I'd like to show you one of my latest builds. Its the Grumman Widgeon kit by Pavla. Not a brilliant kit but better than the old Airfix one. I used Old Model Decals for the reg and fine blue cheat line. Titles are included on the decal sheet but photos I have seen of this type do not show the titles being worn? On to the pics: 
I replaced the kit props with a spare pair I had because the kit ones looked to broad.
The nose anti glare was supplied as a decal by OMD but was too large so I hand painted it. In addition, the rego lettering for the fin on the decal sheet is far too small virtually unreadable and lacks
colour density as when I put one on it vanished against the blue. The windshield frame was from yellow decal stripe.
