So then I thought.................. nooooooooo
I can do a Decal shirely!
Took a few goes. When Outlining, the outline is partially Outside the image, annnnnd Inside.
So it Increases the width. 0.5mm outline = 0.25mm both Inside and Outside. Makes for 0.5mm fatter stripe.
Takes some fiddling and fitting. Color is another story. I can take a sample color from a jpeg!
However if the shot is in bright daylight, or in shade? See my dilemma. So I have taken a sample from a daylight photo.
Sample it, gives me a formula. Then over to SMS lacquer color samples. Now I have three blues to match the YF-4E scheme.
So the result, stripes, texts, patches and even non-standard Star and Bar. BTW, other kits have that same patch both sides, nah!
They are different, and now I gottem!!!!!! Got some Milliput coming I can start building in earnest!
