Of course mine must be different, so I did some research on the unit markings and I was really impressed. Also the original artist repainted all of his nose art back in 94, so I chose "My Achin'Back"
I did the nose art in two parts, first I separated the lady, so words, background would be on one sheet. The lady was printed on white water slide decal paper, the words and background on clear decal paper. I still need to print the "155" for the tail and the "D" for the fuselage.
You must use Micro Set and Micro Sol to apply clear decals, otherwise you will see air underneath.

I used black mixed with silver (model Masters) for the weathering. Went over the panel lines with a pencil. Model Master Aluminum is a good match for this plane. I did strip the original nose art off with PPG paint thinner because it was a bit thick and would show through the paint.
