All decals are on! I had my troubles with Blue Fred. The film was already old when the kit went on my stash 10 years ago. A surfacer prior to giving the sheets in the water bath did help a lot, but still the scheme broke in pieces during transfer. I was close to run for the airbrush to apply the flash on the rear section with paint instead of decals. ...

Thx mates.
@Lukasz: the base is Humbrol 150 forest green, some panels altered with Humbrol 102 army green blurred in. Preshading with black (lines) and yellow (panel center).

Same advice as for Donald :. Scan your special decals before using them, so that you can print a replacement if you have trouble.

Thx Erik -I will give it a try next time. I hope my scanner is doing an acurate and detailed enough job.

Btw, Roden has this (Pilatus Turbo Porter) kit in 1:48 scale, and they are ok, but some fiddling is required. I've built two of those from Roden.

Bottom side of "Blue Elise" - done. "Fred" is still waiting,.... looking forward to attached the last details (antennas, exhausts,...) on the upper side of my 3 birds to finally finish this project.

Wow, they look stunning! Now everyone wanting to build another PC-6 will have a problem deciding which livery to choose (like me) 😄

@All - thx for your motivating comments. It seems that Der Bunte Fredi is our favourit.
