Taking a seat.

Villiers de Vos
Taking a seat as well. I have both these models in my stash.

Hey Villiers/Christoph - hope you enjoy the build and thanks for watching the progress. Thinking about a custom paint job on the second spitfire with reference to the album power slave of which Aces High is from. Have some home print decal sheets that I have been meaning to use for years so might try testing them out. Revell have been kind enough to send a second Eddie Sprue so will have him seated in both planes when completed.

Mr D
Brilliant 👍👍
Great project, Pilots looking menacing 💀💀
Enjoy

Edouard Carr

Speed of light…

Mr D
Nice to see something unique 👍👍
How has the self made decals been ??

Edouard Carr
Hey Mr D

They have been easy to print and super quick to detach from the backing compared to official decals. Interesting to play with but a note to the wise, figure the decals you want and their placement as transparent decals will only be visible on light colours. See my body art for an example!

You then have the issue of how to get round this, which I have yet to decide the best method. Thinking maybe a top coat then a second run through the printer!

Both white and transparent paper are hard to adhere to bumps on the surface without creating bubbles, think this might be A: thickness B:my poor application (more likely 😅).

I need to find some junk kits to do some proper testing before I next use them on a project I think 🤔

Mr D
Thanks Edouard 👍👍
Good luck with it, sometimes double printing can off-set a little so make sure paper 100% straight.
😃👍

Edouard Carr
Know that for a fact, worked as a printers assistant for a time and adding gold elements required a method of double printing, was a nightmare 🤣

What a fun build!
