B-17 guy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Can anyone recomend a decal sheet that has alot of bombing mission markers on it? I need black ones in 48th scale to finish off a 1/48 B-17 I'm working on. I need 110 black bombs like theses sentimental journeys nose.

Bigasshammm Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You'd be better off getting a blank piece of black decal or something that has large black decals and making a stencil to cut them yourself probably. Would be cheaper at least. Try painting? Make a generic oval shape stencil for the bombs and pain the fins either by hand or get a different stencil like a triangle or something?

Phil marchese Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) The 5 sortie grouping arrangement is very similar to the bit o lace presentation and size appears close too. RW26 is on the money. I ve done. Positve and negative approches using the allternate method on OD finishes. I think on NMF rolling against the house in terms of clean touch ups vs trace of film. Good luck either way you go. Edited April 11, 2012 by Phil marchese Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 guy Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Winger, the 85 on the sheet for a bit O lace is still short of 110 that I need. Hamm, ya no, not trying to paint them, or mask them etc. Trying to do that 55 times per side is a bit more than I'm capable of. I'd screw that up too easily. This isnt the squadron code lettering on the side of the fuselage. I'm trying to finish off Sentimental Journey and I need 55 a side, 110 total.

I honestly think the two pronged stencil attack would be feasible. Time consuming but shouldn't be too hard. Hell you could even make your own 5 group stencil and then just keep repeat painting it along the fuselage. (This is what I'd do) Get some thin styrene and cut out the bomb markings yourself. They're fairly generic. Just do a grouping of 5 then repeat until you get what you need. Again time consuming but paint is going to look better than anything anyway.

I was thinking that would give you a good start, then you could cobble the rest in from leftovers if you have any. I think I have some I could donate to your cause from various kits that I didn't use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil marchese Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I m not experienced with home. Prited decals yet it seems sacrificing a portion of what you have to produce more might be an option someone can assist in. Guessing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 guy Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'll get it figured out. I made the decals for fuddy and sentimental, with red bombs for fuddy. I'm gonna go and modify what I originaly did and make half of the bombs black and print a new sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Take what I have left and copy them, repruduce the image and print onto decal paper! Thanks Phil! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
