Great! thanks Geo. I have to measure them. They are the bigger ones........Just kidding I will measure.

Post the size Dave and I'll have a look. Odd that the Eduards were so bad. I've always had good quality decals in my kits from them.

Thanks Andy,

Decal width is 9.5mm white border to white border.

Crimea_River · Dec 17, 2014

OK, will have a look today and get back to you. 9.5mm to OUTSIDE of white border I assume. No black outline wanted.

Crimea_River · Dec 17, 2014

Got your decals Dave. Sent you a PM.

Totalize · Dec 18, 2014

Great! thanks Andy.

Responding to your PM.

Gents,

Thanks for checking in on the build. Much appreciated.

Andy,
I got your decals today in the mail and the Christmas card they came in. Nice touch. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

So as I was mentioning previously the Eduard decals were falling apart including the HakenKreuzes. Here's an example of what I was talking about

Totalize · Dec 23, 2014

I ordered in some new early war German crosses decals and with Andy to the rescue on the HakenKreuzes I was able to complete the decals for Minke Pinke today. I laid down a gloss coat of of Gunze clear gloss first then placed the decals. I like the Gunze gloss as it drys quickly and doesn't have a tacky feel to it. I tend to use a fair amount of water and decal softener and I have found that both eat through future when I used that as a gloss coat. Not so with Gunze.

Here are some pics of my progress to date.

Looks great Dave. Glad the decals arrived ok and worked for you.

Airframes · Dec 23, 2014

That's looking the biz, and well done Andy.

Wurger · Dec 24, 2014

With all.

Gnomey · Dec 26, 2014

Lovely work so far!

dneid · Dec 30, 2014

That looks damned nice, Dave, Real nice!

Wayne Little · Dec 31, 2014

Thanks Gents,

Happy New Year to all!!!

More updates today. The wife and I stayed home for New Year's while my daughter had a bunch of her friends over. As such I got some more work done on 190.

I gave the 190 a wash to accent the panel lines then gave it a flat coat to seal everything in.

Crimea_River · Jan 1, 2015

That's shaping up nicely Dave. Happy New Year to you as well.

Wurger · Jan 1, 2015

A Happy New Year !!!
