Felix Troschier@David Taylor, I know. Unfortunately Warpaint only has drawings of T.3 and 4 with retracted gear. But I assume that they have the same tire size.

Felix Troschier@Keith: You say that one should avoid the dayglo decals. What's wrong with them?

Keith Goodman@Felix: They worked great on the flat surfaces, but are very thick and brittle. I tried every trick I knew but never got them soft enough to bend/conform to the leading edge of the wing. Instead they cracked into small pieces, and color was near impossible to match.

Felix Troschier@Keith: Thanks for your warning. Luckily, I have two sheets. I'll try my best with all the chemicals I have.

Felix Troschier@Bernhard: Yeah again but worse than ever. Feel that I start from zero again

Łukasz GlińskiNever seen the Blufix stuff myself, but watch out whether it doesn't dry inside the box. See my Rocket UV Glue adventure with Caravelle:

Album info
Parallel build of Airfix' recent Jet Provost. Although one is the T.4 boxing, both will be T.3 at the end. Both will get the kit decals from AX02103: One will be aircraft grey/ dayglo from No.2 FTS at RAF Gaydon, the other will be red/white from No. 1 FTS at RAF Linton-on-Ouse.
