Oh, thanks, guys! I have many. I bought a sheet of them a while back, just have to locate the box of spare decals. I cleaned the modeling room the other day, (Yes, I did!) and moved some stuff around.

That's great Paul because I was just going to edit my post saying that I'm going to camp tomorrow and any decals would have to be sent out tomorrow.

A little more order in the shop Paul.
Make up a folder, binder, with clear sleeves for the decals!!! do it...... do it now!

 

[meatloaf109]

Yassir!

 

[meatloaf109]

Onwards, I toil, thankful that there are still several day yet to finish this task.
The tail is now rigged, and the decals are going on. The first ones presented no problems but now that the rigging is done, they have decided to take over in vexing me. I will apply liquid film to thwart their assault on my sanity.
I will keep you all posted as to how that works out.

How what works out, your sanity……………………………..or the decals………………..

 

[meatloaf109]

Right!

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice work on the rigging Paul.

 

[meatloaf109]

Thanks!
I am not entirely happy with the turnbuckle size, I love the process, there is no better way to tighten up rigging! I am pretty sure that our Australian friends have access to smaller guage aluminum tubing than I am able to get. I have checked with four different sources, and I am unable to find anything smaller than 1/16th tube.
I would be more than happy with it in 1/32, and if the chance comes up, I will use it there. One never knows, whith the way my eyes are going, 1/32 might be the way of the future!
It just seems a touch too large, to me.

Jerry, you're using that R word again............

Paul, getting the tubing from the U.S. mate. The twisty loopy thingies are from the U.K.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Can't get away from the fact the you made your own twirly things (buckles) Paul, in itself that is a very commendable achievement that you should be more than proud of. Remember, I purchased mine.

 

[ccheese]

Let's get 'er done, Paul !! Two days left..... but who's counting ?

Charles

 

[meatloaf109]

I got it figured at 57 hours 20 minutes left.
One insignia shattered some. Time to break out the paint.

How what works out, your sanity……………………………..or the decals………………..

What sanity? He has none left. Went out the window about the second day of rigging. Just look at Bill. Both hopeless cases............But the Heinkel does look beautiful

[Crimea_River]

It sure is. What a nice looking plane.
