Testors PLA Flat Red!
TOLD YOU SO!
This is where I wanted to get with Der Baron this snowy, icy, crappy day!
Peeling the masks will tell the tale.
Tomorrow, perhaps.
:idonno
MILLER Time! :drinks

OOooohh! I just couldn't wait to peel the masking! Le Rouge! :yipee
The paint scheme deviated just a bit from Der Baron's Schwalbe.

I made different Snoopy decals for the fin as well.
Thanks for looking in!

I tried out my Home-made JG-2 "Richtofen" decals. The seem acceptable.
In contrast to this winter's snow, cold, and bleakness, I seem to painting things that might blind a lesser group of Fellows.

Thank you all for your kindnesses!

What about HMS Trafalgar SSN with a Beatles Yellow paint job?
:hmmm :yipee :rotf

My Favorite part of modeling. Decals! The larger Crosses come from an ancient Micro-scale Luftwaffe 1/72 TF-104G sheet I had stored away. After decals & clear coat, She will be scratched, stained, and otherwise beat up.
Combat is rigorous! I believe Der Baron would certainly have led by example.

I have learned that 8 X 11 sheets of decal paper jam my canon printer. :facepalm
4X6 sheets of decal paper DO NOT! So I made handed Snoopys for the fin of the FW!

Decals continue. The old F-104 decals are going on rough-shod. That's OK, because this will be a working Jagdwaffe ship. Flying & Fighting! Just because I think Manfred might want them, She get MK.108 30MM cannons in the wings.
He will probably still close in from above & astern.

Thanks for looking in!
:snoopy
