The spinner was cut from the Guillows P-40 400 kiit using scissors first and then a razor knife. Holes were punched using a standard 3/16" hole punch.

I'm going for the three blade version....first step is to mark where the prop blades will be.

It looks as if the prop rotation on this beast is bass ackward, too!!

A pattern of the fin flash is used to determine paint lines. Here the white and the red would show through.

This is to insure that the color under the decal does not show through. Decals are thin and translucent so light colors do not cover dark colors. In this case the dark blue of the RAF roundel will cover the green but the red would not.

These are quality peel and stick "decals" which I got for the Mosquito. The sheet has sizes for several scales. I'll use these RAF roundels on the fuselage. The test here is to see if the white is opaque enough to prevent the black from showing through.. It is.

I let the sheet dry for a couple of says and then did a test on foam board I've been using to paint on canvas with. Success!! The decals are now quite strong and can be handled with ease.That's comforting as I have three more Diels kits in the closet:-)

Outside I sprayed on four coats of the clear gloss acrylic and allowed a drying time of at least 30 minutes between coats

The decals in Diels kits are gorgeous but they are very fragile. The instructions say to spray them with a clear acrylic spray to strengthen them so I decided to try it. I understand you do the same thing for ones you make yourself. This is clear gloss which I chose over matte and satin finishes.
