Hi, sorry been away to Rome for the weekend....

the foil doesn't add weight...the lithoplate can if it's done in huge amounts....just have to be selective on what panels you make up as you can see i haven't done all the ones on the wing...i want to create the 'effect' of panels.....also the full size had painted wings at the factory, the fuz being left natural....here i will add more litho.

lol......the text you mention came off a set of decals i had for my yellow aircraft P47...so you are right...it's for the wrong aircraft....lol....will be doing more this week..underside of wing

cheers
