Very nice!

much obliged.

Decals decals decals! I have just finished the left side of the fuselage and upper left wing . This bird is a little awkward to handle so I'm trying to finish an area and get a good drying of the decals before moving on to the next.

I'll be moving over to the other side and repeating the process later this week.
Thanks for looking in.

Excellent idea doing one side and letting it dry before moving to the other side. I'm doing the same thing with my Boeing 737; only I'm clearcoating the decaled side first before moving on to finish it. Looks like these decals are going on well. Way to go!

These decals are great! Revell upped their game going with Cartograph for this kit.
Working one side at a time just seems to be be the best approach. There’s just so many stencils that going back aforth would surely screw something up.

That's it, take it slow.

That is looking really good!

Another Sunday update. It seems lately that I only get any model time on Sunday.
The right side of the fuselage id now decalled as is the top of the right wing

seeing how I was on a roll I got a few on the lower wings, and the engine inlets.

Then I came to these

I had to google the inlets just to see what exactly these decals are. Here's the image

Ok .......time to call it a day and tackle these when I'm fresh. too tiny and fiddley to try today. I've had 4 uninterrupted hours at the bench today. No sense in screwing it up now.

She's lookin' swell.

Wonder what the view from the cheap seats was like in this thing. I still say it's a crying shame these graceful aircraft are not flying anymore.

 

[dollar19]

A shame indeed. They were already on their last lap when the Paris accident happened. Just economically unsustainable, and ecologically unfriendly. Still an awesome piece of technology, and a beautiful bird.

I've been moving along with the Concorde's belly and engines. Still saving these intake decals till last.

 

[razordws]

That's a lot of stencils Greg. Your patience is paying off!

Thanks Dave and you too Bob.

I can offically say the decalling has come to an end.

All I have left is add the landing gear, gloss it do a light wash and seal and she'll be ready for thr prom.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Wow, that is magnificent! Brilliant work you did man!

 

[Skinny_Mike]

Such a clean build! Looks great.

 

[dollar19]

Thanks Duke and Mike!
This has been one of the most fun builds I’ve done in a long time. I guess it shows in how the model is turning out.

 

[sharkman]

Looks fantastic!

I must have skipped a lot of the decals on the one I built as a kid. I don't recall it being that detailed!

 

[Swordsman]

Great job .... Looks real good

 

[Old Dog]

I haven't been following this one but what a great job, looks really nice

 

[dollar19]

Thanks fellas!
I hope to finish her up this weekend. And then get some glamor shots posted.
Thanks for looking in.
