Coming along nicely Aaron, though that is extremely strange how faded those decals are!!! (especially as the serial number is alot brighter!)

Give us the measurements if you like, and I'll see if I have replacements in correct size for ya.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Evan, they're suppose to be faded. Not sure why, but all the photos on line of this bird look like this. Oh, and the wrinkles have all but vanished. Thank you for the offer though, I do appreciate it but these are working out. Hopefully I can get this finished before I leave for a month. It doesn't look like it though.

 

[A4K]

No worries mate! Wonder what the story is with the faded roundels is... seems strange to me.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'm not sure, but the original aircraft looked the same way. It's kinda puzzling.

 

[Rogi]

Thats normal, I always get the same result when I add, Set and Sol, and the Sol always wrinkles them beyond recognition after it drys or I at leats get 1 wrinkle that kinda ruins the look , I've only had it work 2 times perfectly as in the instructions (without touching it after application etc). I'm considering just using Set now and patting it down, tried it on a couple scrap models and it works fine. Its whenever I add some Sol that ruins the look

Shes looking good so far

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks Rogi. I need to post some photos and finish this little monster.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok folks......................I know it's hard to believe..........................but it's FINISHED. Being black and somewhat shiney.............the dust shows up REALLY bad on it. As dry as the air is at the moment I can't do anything about it due to the static.

 

[Wurger]

Looking great though.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you sir. It may be just a little bit to shiny but I am pleased with everything except the canopy. They give me trouble.

 

[Crimea_River]

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Glen and Geo. It's a very kit Geo. You won't be disappointed. Doing this color scheme though brings out EVERY little blemish.
