Thanks for the enthusiasm gentlemen, it did turn out pretty much as I envisaged it before the build started, and I'm glad I gave up on the wing tip tank idea, it's spikey enoigh as it is! This morning one overwing tank is leaning at a drunken angle after two attempts at glueing it into position, I think superglue is called for....
I sized the squadron crest to be the same as the ones carried by 19 and 92 Sqdns. in their F2As, as supplied in the original kit. The primary problem making it any smaller is trimming the decal to shape as it has to be printed on white decal paper to get the colours right. It was difficult enough as it is, any smaller and I'd need an electron microscope!
I looked at it more and more y'day evening and I think I'll delete it, as Chris said it's just a bit too fussy.
Amazingly the decals on the 'winders consist only one one piece. They come from the late lamented Airfix weapons set and the brown and yellow rings are just one decal, the rest of the 'detail' is strategically placed black paint.
