The cockpit tub and fuselage side walls were painted with H307 grey. Geoff (the editor) was a bit sceptical about the use of decals for the instruments but I decided to give them a go and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome – it looks quite good and the decals are good enough that they conform to the surface detail to give some texture to them.

The rear one fits no problems but there is a gap between the base of the front one and the cockpit sill, this was initially a little concerning but dry fitting of the front canopy showed that the framing will obscure this gap.
