    Mark,

     

    Thanks for the photos. The spine is obviously too flat. However the kit basher in me says " I can fix that".

     

    This is disappointing in a new tool kit. I have looked at the instructions  online and it seems to be a very complex kit.

     

    I am looking forward to the challenge.

    if thats the only fault i dont think it will be that much of a chore to build it up with filler

     

     

  2. im probably the wrong person to ask i know very little about the hornet

     

    having looked over the instructions and kit, the flat spine is very noticable, and the molds are not as crisp as id expect from a new kit, the detail is a bit soft in places

     

    the main issue for me is according to the instructions there are 150 steps to the build, and TBH they look very over complex

     

    i would take some sprue shots, but i managed to drop my camera this morning at the air museum i collected the kit from

     

    sorry i cant help any more

    Well I'm pleased to see a Gladiator; my only problem will be whether to do a pre-war aircraft, a Battle of Britain example (yes, they were used, look up 247 Sqn), or a met reconnaissance bird.  Must ... resist ... urge ... to ... buy ... three ...

  5. i make my own serials all the time, normal ACRYLIC varnish is fine, i bought a vallejo matt rattle can and use that, never had a problem with it

     

    1  - print the decal

    2 -  let it dry for an hour

    3 -  thin coat of varnish

    4 -  leave for an hour

    5  - another this time slightly thicker coat

    6  - leave over night

    7  - use the decal
