Thanks Guys, my son and his girlfiend have been down for the weekend staying with us so I only had one window of 2 hours saturday afternoon when everyone else was out and I was home alone...so meteor decalling was the order of business. All primary and some secondary are in place.
still a number of decals to do so next gloss overcoat to seal everything probably wont happen till Wednesday....so finish will likely be next weekend by the time I add the extra bits...
Got 99% of the decals done now...some 150 plus in all.
then i was pi$$ed the Alps printed nose numbers don't like handling during decalling part of the starboard side 1 is gone and all 3 digits on the port side are rubbed away enough that they are pretty much useless now.. see post 162's nose decals compared to what it looks like now on the port side....
There may have been something on the decal paper when they were printed, hence the separation. Or, insufficient seal coat and water dissolved the ink. Too bad. I missed something here and did not realize you were using custom decals.
Just had a look at a couple of B&W photos from the period, showing RAAF Meteors, and the RPs look to be he same as used in WW2. So, the same colours - Dark Green body, Olive Drab/ Olive Green warhead, yellow bands and stencils.
