Robert Podkoński
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.

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!

Been following this, though forgot to 👀! Highly impressed with your decal skills and not least your patience Augie, I continue to watch with great interest 👍🙂

Charlie Spitfire

9 February 2022, 00:21

Augie

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

16 February 2022, 09:12

Maciej Bellos
Stunning work Augs!

16 February 2022, 09:23

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)

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)

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

Clifford Keesler
You will get there.

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.

Augie, no joke: the nickname was "Flying Manual" 😉

Spanjaard
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.
