Thanks you both. I plan to tone down some part of the shading and finish the paintjob today. We have a nice sunny day here, so I'll be able to set up the outside paint both. The lighting will be perfect to gauge the shading, plus I'll get a tan 😎
Decals are done! next Step, weathering & installing the landing gear.
Thank you Gastón! I use to not really cared much for this aircraft, but doing this build (It was a gift) really made me love it! It's much bigger than I would have tough.
Thanks Guy. I'm glad Julien called out my error before I'd gone any further though.
Thanks Andy, James, Juergen- I've managed to cover the fuselage with a slightly larger RAF decal- it has softened well enough to see the inspection hatch still and so am happy with that. I'm going to try and lift the upper and lower wing decals this weekend. Fingers crossed. 👍
Back on track having rectified my decal error. Still need to put the exposed Jumo back in place and then on to washes and weathering. 
Started work with the cockpit.
Added some contacta clear to the instruments for a more realistic glass look.
The seat cushions are supported with cellulose for a fabric surface.
Looking good. I've only ever used Micro Kristal Klear but i've heard it's not being made now. How do you rate the Contacta? 
@Alan: this stuff is pretty solid. It does it's work but usually I glue clear parts with Mr Hobby extra thin. Works a lot better and faster.
@Alan: the Contacta works good, but it's very thick and needs a long time to dry.
Fuselage and wings are complete.
Decided to build it in a parked configuration, with flaps and slats up, hatches and canopy closed.
