Looks really good already!

So decals.. wow they really pop superb decals too, not even a smear of sol needed to get them to sit.

Roland Revolvermann
Ah, nice to hear the decals are good. Is my most expensive decal sheet I have ever bought 😅
28 January 2022, 19:11
Augie
Ha, the custom ones for the B-29 were mine... by a long margin
28 January 2022, 20:05
Robert Podkoński
I will keep my fingers crossed for that, though, Augie 😉

Augie
Thanks Robert,

Some more pics, elevators are done, now vertical stab started. Don't worry about the slight whitening, it clears out as it drys, its a reaction between sol and future.

How can we automatically get a ping when an album appears in the project?

Great work Augs!

Charlie Spitfire

9 February 2022, 00:21
Augie

Villiers de Vos
Applying that decal scheme will leave be dizzy. Very nicely done.

Maciej Bellos
Stunning work Augs!
16 February 2022, 09:23
Roland Revolvermann
That looks good! Now that you have practice, I can send you my phantom to stick on 😉
16 February 2022, 10:09
Roland Revolvermann
PS: May I ask what base green you used?
16 February 2022, 10:10
Augie
Thanks guys..

So while the decals are fantastic.. the guide to where they go is not so much..
So anyone who's following, please don't use mine as a guide, look at the real bird for guidance as I followed the guide supplied with the decals and in places they are a little off.

@ Roland, mines painted with Humbrol 88 (Deck Green), the guide calls out for 78 (Cockpit green)

Great decaling!
Pattern looks like a toddler playing Tetris 😄
16 February 2022, 12:02
Roland Revolvermann
Don't worry Augie: no one can look at this pattern long enough to spot any errors without suffering neural/psychological damage.
16 February 2022, 12:22
Augie
lol thanks roland 🙂

16 February 2022, 16:59
Augie
Thanks guys 🙂 its coming on well, tonight *Should* be the last on the pattern decals.

Then, starts the 200+ insignias, stencils and lines.
16 February 2022, 18:25
John Hughes
Could have been worse, Augie. Imagine not having decals & having to mask & paint all that!
16 February 2022, 18:31
Augie
Considering that I brush paint.. I can well imagine.
16 February 2022, 19:12
Augie
We're getting there.. its starting to take on personality well.
18 February 2022, 22:47
Robin (WhiteGlint)
Coming along nicely, Augie. 👍

15 May 2022, 06:57
Augie

15 May 2022, 12:24
Robert Podkoński
Stencils...that's one of the reasons I avoid building modern military jets 😉 Keep calm and carry on, Augie!
15 May 2022, 12:47
Clifford Keesler
That's what F-4's are famous for.
15 May 2022, 23:35
Roland Revolvermann

And nice to see you're not done yet either 😉
15 June 2022, 13:27

15 June 2022, 19:52
Augie
Thanks guys 🙂

I was going mad with it, so put to the side for a little bit while I play with a pair of P-51's..in 1:24.. dont ask lol, I need get projects for them
16 June 2022, 12:16
David Taylor
Patience,patience and it is paying off.
16 June 2022, 14:50
Clifford Keesler
2 1:24th P-51's you are a brave soul. Are they Airfix?
16 June 2022, 15:14
Augie
Thanks David, thats why its to one side, so I dont ruin it lol.

Clifford, yeap, pair of 1:24 Airfix P-51's. One is recent, the other is a 1973 issue.. the 73 issue is far better plastic too
16 June 2022, 15:47
Clifford Keesler
You would think it would be the other way around.
16 June 2022, 20:57
Augie
Stencils... lots of em.. This one I think is the most I have had on a single airframe.

I remember the joy of the hobbydecal set for the Black Bunny. For what I see in the picture 19 this one requires a similar level of masochism... ah, the pleasure when you look at it when is finished!! 🙂
30 September 2022, 23:27
Augie
Lol yeah, I am glad I only have about 30 more to go.. but I love how it looks.
