Sounds and looks good to me.
Will have to give that a go!
 
Hello,
Decals almost done. It remains only the "red 131" that I didn't succeed to print. The ink doesn't "paste" on the decal sheet...
I had these decals sheets (for inkjet printer) since almost 20 years but I was succeeding to print with a color laser printer at my job there is 9 or 10 years ago . But unfortunately, I lost my job => company closed
But impossible to print at my home with my Canon inkjet printer. So I ordered new clear decals sheets from MDP (Mr Decal Paper) for inkjet printer and I hope it will be OK.

I keep hope
 
Reds generally don't print well I have found. I recently bought more decal sheets made by Testors and they no longer distinguish between ink jet and laser whereas they did so before. All the same paper now.

I just add my comment, sorry Andy, I didn't see your post

Hello,
Bad news and good news...
Bad news: I have not receive the clear decal sheets yet
Good news: a friend of mine, Captain Frey on this forum, helps me and he printed the "red 131" I need. I think to receive it this week.
Here is the test


So, I keep working on some details


I hope to have the time to finish but I'm not very sure. I'll receive the decals wednesday, and only 2 days left to finish, maybe too short for me . And impossible to work the 1st and the 2nd of June, my son comes in my home for the week-end
 
Hello,

Finally, I will not be able to finish this model
Despite the help of my friend Captain Frey and the very nice rendering of his prints, the decals on my P-38 are darker and more transparent than the tests done at Captain Frey home.
I tried to brighten with red paint but the result is inconclusive... Maybe painting is in question and maybe I'm also too much a maniac
I think that the idea proposed by Captain Frey would solve the problem: make masks in white or red under the decals. But for the moment I haven't the time and I feel a little down to make that


The beautifull rendering with the tests made by Pascal (Captain Frey)


Not having received the decals I ordered to make other tests, for the moment, this P-38 returns in his box... Sorry
 
Sorry to hear that. But IMHO it doesn't look too bad. Also I would say that instead of making the dark decals brighter you could use the same CF's prints put one on another. As a result, you should get them darker and fitted to the already applied dark decal markings
