Vaughan,
Thank you for the explanation on how you got that panel to just pop. My challenge is I tend to build mostly 1/48 and some times those panels are just so damned small. Not sure I can get the dry brushing to that detail. Does anyone know of "generic" instrument decals for 1/48? I could have sworn I ran across them SOMEPLACE. I just cannot find em now.

Dale if you are struggling with 1/48 scale you can always use individual instrument decals. Here in the UK I use airscale they produce decals, cockpit bezels and more. They also ship worldwide for £1.95. I hope this helps.

Hey, Vaughan,
I just order a couple of sets of 1/48 instrument decals for RAF, USAAF, and Luftwaffe, Thanks for the link!

Hi Guys,
Well I opted to go with the prop. I started with an initial coat of black then once dry masked up, I then spayed the hub steel. I followed up with the prop tips first a light coat of white then yellow. Masking off and all looks good. All that's need is a coat of klear and the I can lay down the decals and then a final flat coat.

Hi Guys,
A small update prop decals are down and a coat of satin gloss applied despite temps being very cold which makes spraying quite difficult. Spinner cone yet to be sprayed in yellow and some weathering to follow.

That's cool Wayne,
although might be quicker to do yourself as I don't know how fast the post would be.
