Just an update really. I got the model right up to its paint stage, and I think it's gone well. I had the sudden desire at this point to paint freehand, and thereby give that nice feathered edge. It would have been quicker too, but study of the actual aircraft revealed a slightly harder edge. So it was out with the blu-tac. After I removed the blu-tac masking, I found the resulting look very much like the real thing.
After the first stage of weathering, I glossed up and began applying the decals. These came from the Techmod set - 300 Squadron Polish at RAF Faldingworth. They're not bad, but need some persuasion to settle down.
I'm now at stage two of weathering, or will be, as soon as the new glaze dries.
