Cheers.

The more spare sheets of wrap you buy, the easier it becomes. I wish I had bought three instead of just two!

I love watching your progress.

I'm sure you know this, or have considered it already but...

Once you've finished your decaling masterpiece, please be very careful about how you seal it with a top coat. Some decals react with certain finishes, and can make the decals bubble up. Heart braking, even though my decal job was much less involved than yours.

Yes...l have bought some Alclad Aqua Gloss, Klear Coat Gloss and Klear Coat Semi-Matte. I suppose I should try each out on some of the spare decal graphics to see what damage they do!

Thanks for all your concern, I have bounced back and completed the infills on the off side...

And then moved onto the rear, which fitted well, and I had plenty of spare black to fill the odd corners...

I shall spend some time tomorrow just staring at it, but I think I will use some paint for the side skirts and rear wing.
