Well I managed to make a complete cock up of the transfers on the first side.

I hadn’t got the surface glossy enough and the transfer refused to be nudged. In the end I was a bit vigorous with the cocktail stick that I use to finally position transfers and gouged a bit of paint off.

Here I am trying a partial repaint of the damaged side. As I was stripping the paint from the affected panels I also noted that somewhere along the line I had lost a hinge from the feed/harness compartment so I stripped that door too and soldered on another hinge. Time will tell as to whether I get away with it or I have to strip the whole side or even the entire body.
