Homebuilt Helo #19

When I was building Airfix kits as a kid there was nothing better than that point when the Humbrol enamel paint had been applied and all that remained was to apply those fiddly decals.

At that time airliners used classical colours and stripes along their window lines until PanAm came along with all-white Jumbo Jets and everyone followed suite.

At the time it looked spectacular ~ as anything new invariably does ~ at least until we realised that it actually looked shit.
