Thats going to be as rough as old boots FT. How much filler and sand paper have you got? Plenty, I hope! In the end, the idea is to picture it while on it's final mission towards Berlin ... in the very dark of a November night... so, well, you get the picture! Hmm... yeah, I do have filler and sand paper plenty, and yeah, this is a challenge for sure! Dunno really why I am not working on the Swordfish... Started working on it just eight years ago, there's still plenty of time left, isn't there? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eehhmmm thanks, but that's the one that I scanned, edited and have printed on a decal sheet myself, so with the ID markings I want! I guess I could use the ones that were delivered... on a side note, what looks so horrible about them? Mind you, picture was taken under some weird yellowish LED lamp... so colour wise, it will be a bit off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted April 11, 2018 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 11, 2018 Excuse me whilst I remove the appendage terminating my leg from my cake-hole.... The B-type Roundels (just red & blue) look good, but the C-type (with white and yellow rings) appear ill-proportioned and the red - at least in the photo - doesn't appear to be centered correctly. Apologies if I offended Arjen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if I offended Arjen. Offended? No ways! Never Ever! Apart from the lighting, there's also the angle in which the picture was taken vs the angle of the paper! And, iPhone 5 as camera, so all kinds of warping goes on Here's a (flatbed) scan of the original decal sheet... I think it shows where the problem comes from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta7 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 wow your a real masochist, the new revell and airfix lancs are pretty good and would build easier, but maybe you have a good reason for going with this one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted April 16, 2018 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 16, 2018 The only good reason I had for getting me this one is that it was available in the shop I was visiting Surely, one get can anything on line, but being in the shop, seeing the box, touching it, holding it, pondering over it, whether to get it or not, negotiating with the shop owner, to get some discount... (got it for 20 Euro's, it was priced at 29,90) I mean ... you can't really beat that with Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Safari's 'put in basket, checkout' now can you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
