There are some technics that can be used to vanish the decal transfer film..
Also the layers from the 3d print filament are visible. I wouldnt worry about any weathering highlighting them. But i would worry about mid-flight delimitation .
Have you tried flying them on a jet? Any videos? What dimensions and how heavy are they?

Hey George,
they are not filament printed. The lines you see are 30 microns (0.03 millimeters, or a zilchtillionth of an inch), less than half the thickness of a human hair. They are only visible when you get very very very close under flashlight at a certain angle (Steel pigment effect paint). Pass over them with 600 grit sandpaper 3 or 4 times then they are gone, i intentionally wanted to show what is possible without touching it. The rollerons etc were not sanded either by the way.
Also none of the decals have been clear coated, they were applied with Mr Mark Set and Sol only. Once you coat them they will be invisible.
Delamination is not an issue, the strength far superseeds the loads of flight. Is is the same material that was used on the "high"-reving A-10 fans, and they are loaded by factor 30 or so more.
The one shown is 1/7 at 66 grams finished. The 1/11.5 came it at 24g.
Theres also a large 1/6 Smokewinder shown on another thread here, it comes in at 225g, however including the smoke generator and all wiring.
Here under "normal" lighting.
By the way, the imprinted serial number is correct

The Rolleron! Amazing engineering! Aim-9 Sidewinder Video;
Pretty interesting, never knew about the rollerons.
