Fantastic work Brother!

 

[Wurger]

Keep the great work up Dan.

No problem Vic, and thanks Jan and Wojtek...

More work today including decals and washing....

 

[lesofprimus]

Alright, now we're gettin somewhere....

Got the panel line wash done and tidied up, then away with the decals I went... The custom made S7 and EN that Vic made up for me were a whore....

Just the cutting off the sheet process, let alone getting them on...

The EN u see on the model now took 3 tries to get right... Thanks for the spares Vic, whew what a bitch... The S7 I will need to attack a different way, as the white letters were printed out with a olive background which is too noticeable on the model to leave.... The exacto knife dont quite cut the mustard so to speak... The size of the S7 is frickin tiny, as well as the wrknum on the tail...

Too small....

Can anyone do a rush job on their printer for some white letters that dont need to be cut out??? Im in desperate need...

 

[kgambit]

What size do they need to be?

Model's looking great as well.

Looks great mate. As Dwight asked, which letters, what size and style? I'll have a look see what I've got taking up space when I know what you need.

[Wayne Little]

Your bird looks great out in the sunlight Dan!!

Don't think I can help with the white stuff but will have a look....

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks for the assist and good words guys....

Dan, check those dimensions. Less than a millimeter doesn't sound right.

 

[kgambit]

Dan, check those dimensions. Less than a millimeter doesn't sound right.

I think Andy is right. 0.6 mm just seems way too small for 1/32 scale. That would scale to ~0.75 inches full size. Did you get the decimal wrong perhaps? 6 mm would be 7.5 inches (or ~200 mm) full scale which seems more likely given that the side crosses would be around 1000 (or perhaps as large as 1200 mm) full size.


I know I have some 6 mm luftwaffe letters on hand - not sure about if I have numbers as well or the colors though.

EDIT: I just checked and I have both numbers and letters at 6mm but the only colors I have are blue and green.

 

[lesofprimus]

Im just goin by what the numbers are that Vic printed out on the decla sheet, as we were unsure as to the exact size...

Vic???

My imperial measurements were:
S7 - 7/32" = .218" = 5.53mm
Wrknum - 5/32" = .156" = 3.96mm

Heres a shot of the sheet...

Hot bird Dan.
