Default Decals

Details, details, decals.

Some thing is wrong here the site is not up to date. I added a couple steps since the 27th. I wonder if RCUniverse had to do a back up?

Anyhow we were lucky enough to get copies of some of the original artwork on the Chadwick. So I sent off my money for a do-it-yourself decal kit. It is not difficult, just use your ink jet printer, print it, spray the special paper with Krylon. When it is dry you have a decal. Well almost that easy, ink jet printers do not print white so the special paper is already white, just color a section to match the area your going to apply the decal (black). Print on top of the background color the nomenclature you want. I was easy for the black, but the day glow red was difficult to match.

The decals I made will not make scalemasters, but they make the plane come alive. When I get the exterior details finished I will publish a first-up photo of the 7th Chadwick. Meanwhile check this out, my half of the office at home that I share with Maria. She can't wait until I claim finish!
