Love this bird...

We were at WPAFB a couple of years ago and my sweetie was amazed at how tiny these birds actualyy were... and even more amazed that people will;ingly got into them to fly!

Framing out the canopies.

Decal sheet that i've been playing around with for a while. Think the under color is black then chrome. Put the True Blue on top of it.

Cut into fine strips.

then tedium for all...not sure if this is LESS tedious than masking, the frame lines are so light it's hard to tell where to cut the mask. I have not treated the parts yet, I'm wondering if the decals are going to adhear to the parts. May have to do the Future treatment to them before decals will stick. Will check it before heading off to work.

Bob place some tin foil underneath the clear plastic . Shine a strong light from above so it reflects back up.

This will help in seeing the frames.

That canopy reminds me of an older Airfix canopy. Just something about those Golden Era birds though

 

[moon puppy]

Well I took a look at the canopy this morning and most of the decals just blew off in the wind. I'm going to get a coat of Future on them and see if they will stick any better.

Any suggestions on how to cut a really thin line of the decal paper without it curling up under the knife?

 

[matrixone]

That's looking good Bob!

For cutting delicate material like decal sheets try using a brand new x-acto blade and a straight edge and lightly make several cuts until the decal strip is separated, it works for me.

I would try these two things Bob although I'm not sure it will work. :idonno

1. Cut it upside down .

2. Use a # 10 blade instead of a #11. They don't dig into the work as badly .

Hope this helps. Cheers, Christian B)

 

[moon puppy]

Thanks guys, going to hit the store to get new blades, I'm out anyway.
