The green background shows the White to be printed, there is no other way to present it!!!Thanks all.
Bill, I can use various spare decals for the markings, along with some of the kit decals, but I'm hoping to be able to re-size the artwork you did for the nose art, and have it printed. I need to see if the potential printer can "drop out" the green background though.
Would you be able to re-draw it without the green background ?
If so, then if printing not possible, I could print onto clear decal sheet, and then overpaint if needed to get colour depth.
Go to the forums section at Hyperscale.com. Those guys, right or wrong, are freak shows if one rivet is out of place. I have seen that info then quoted on other model sites and there are manufacturers that do comment on themI can appreciate the preservation of history that you modelers perform. Does any feedback about incorrect panel lines/rivets/etc. get back to the model manufacturers?
I'm afraid there's going to be a slight delay before I can start on the engines, for two reasons.
First, after hours of drilling, carving, and scribing yesterday, my right hand (mainly the fingers) is very stiff and tender, making it very uncomfortable to even try to grip anything, let alone do delicate work, but I'm hoping that this will ease off by tonight or tomorrow.
Second, I've been staring at the "Quickboost" resin engines, thinking that something didn't look quite right, but couldn't figure out what. Then, when checking reference photos, I realised that the resin castings lack the push rods, although the cylinder heads have the rod connecting sleeves moulded in.
This means that I'll need to make the rods, for the front bank of cylinders at least, which will total 56 rods for the four engines !
Hopefully I can make these from finely stretched sprue, and get them to sit in place, along with lead wire ignition leads, with only a few new swear words added to "The Modeller's Dictionary" !!
I'm partly tempted to use the kit engines after all, but nah, that's too easy !
