thanks Ray.....decals from Lime November will be ordered soon......and it's a Kombi so it should look a little different to the others

[RayS]

No worries Paul,

I just found my sheet and they are screen printed (island type) with a laser/alps printed sheet for the tail markings.

[oz rb fan]

thanks for that Ray
they sound like a big improvement over the older decals i have.
BTW the windows on that 737-8 you linked me to are incredible...i may do another airliner just to use them.

Yes they are nice Paul, I have a set for my KMC 1/72 B727.

I should get a few more sets for my other kits

OK, so just a check on where everyone is with this......especially given that it is only 4 months to Model Expo.
I need to realistically know what we are going to end-up with, so if extra table space is needed for the category, I can advise the Model Expo Committee in advance.

Realistically one Airfix 737-200 and given the current state of low modelling mojo (as some say) that may be being optimistic.

If I could raise the level of modelling mojo and also model while reading the F1 Testing then the A300B1 will have a good shot at being finished too.

Just glue on one piece a day if you're not feeling like it. In no time at all you will have an almost complete model and then your building enthusiasm will come back. That's worked for a couple of other people I've suggested this too.

OK I'll try it.

(Also I think part of the problem is I actually want to start something else but tell myself I can't until I get these done with the end result being nothing done. Maybe if I just give in and start something else it will rub off and I'll make progress on the existing ones as well?)

[F-27pax]

That's how I do it. I usualy have about six projects on the go so if I don't feel like working on one of them, there's always something else to do. Some models might take a year to get completed, others only a week or two.

MIne is stalled (primed and ready for some paint), but I will be getting back to it in a few weeks along with a few cargo carriers for the ACAM display table.
