Decalling complete. I had to use one decal from another kit,Hasegawa Bicentennial as the 76 provided on the left hand rudder was a solid red, not red, blue and white. A couple of light Klear coats tomorrow and then a light panel wash is up next.

Completed. After sealing the decals, an oil wash of Winsor & Newton Raw Umber and White Spirits was applied and the excess wiped off. Giving it a day to cure I then gave it a Pollyscale Acrylic Satin coat and added all the landing gear, doors, pitots and canopy.
