Work on the Airfix Curtiss Tomahawk11B carries on with the last of the decals being applied to the undersides of the wings....
and the interesting mouth and eye markings around the front end. Yes, I have managed to break off one of the machine guns in the wings as predicted but it is safe ready to be glued back in place.
These last decals were not the easiest to fit as they had to meet in the middle. There is a bit of a gap but I should be able to hide that with some paint. I am somewhat in territory I have not been in before with aircraft so a lot of looking at pictures on the net has taken place to clarify details including that the wheel wells were painted greem so that is what I also did!
Reaching this stage means that the last few pieces can be fitted so hopefully that will be a job for the next day or so once I have sealed the decals with a coat of matt varnish.
