Personally, the decals look tame already. Nice work on that! Congrats on her sitting on her landing gear, this is such a magnificent looking model already!

You have pretty much made a silk purse out of this sow's ear. You do deserve a pat on the back.

I added the tiny Clear Prop p/e guide part to the canopy on the RH side. I'm unsure it was worth the effort on Lazarus.
There was a tiny gap under the windscreen. All y'all know how I feel about gaps!
She's still on her nose gear, even though removing the canopy masks led to a bit of breath-holding.
I'm sure my Sweetie's Tiny Jesus had something to do with this! A customer gave him to her today.

A coat of Tamiya X-22 on the scratched-up 49-year-old canopy, and some careful Dullcote touch-up, and I'm calling "Lazarus the E28/39" done. The cockpit details I added are near impossible to discern through the thick ancient, clear plastic canopy, but I know it's all in there!
"Lazarus" came a LONG way from this starting point. A testament to the frugality of the retired model maker. I will likely finish of the 1/72 Frank Whittle figure in the near future. Too late to the ball for a ribbon, but an awful lot of Real Life went on during this Plastic Surgeon ressurrection.
Now that's some serious reconstructive plastic surgery!

Thanks Paddy! Fun. Hmmm.......Well done Chris, this looks great and i bet it being smashed up made the whole thing more fun
The end result is sorta successful, but I don't think I'll smash anymore model kits after resurrecting Lazarus.
I just clearly don't like to lose.
