thanks chaps

Eduard Spitfires are always a joy, for some reason the wing root join wasn't perfect, as it was in a previous build, I must have done or not done, something wrong?

these are the "peelable" decals, one "issue" is that once the carrier film has been removed if you want to place an additional decal on top of an existing one they won't "stick", when you peel the carrier film the ink/paint comes off at the same time. The "answer" is to spray the "first" decal with a coat of varnish, I used a matt varnish, then the "second" decal can have its carrier film removed as easily as the first.
