Kurt H. Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have started on the decals! The decals are thick, which is not totally a bad thing, since I am a bit clumsy with decals. There was also a lot of white gunk on the decals after they lifted off the paper, so I wiped it all off before applying the decal. since they are thick, they are tolerant of the extra handling required. Sorry for the lack of updates, I have beed studying for professional certs, and I started a new position, which also required a test after starting, so I have been pretty busy. I also had to deal with going from nights to days. with the tests behind me I can relax with a clear conscience and get back to the phantoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Still plugging away. When I was in my teens I would do the whole decal job in one sitting. now it takes several sessions. The kit instructions do not give great guidance. Would this plane have had a lot of stencils? The walkways are from a Micro scale sheet of phantom walkways. very handy.

Kurt H. Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Still going on this ... I got the decals finished and a satin clear on it. I used Polly Scale Satin clear, which has about the sheen I was going for, no flat, not shiny. It is flying now to allow it to dry. It is a bit rough, but I have not finished an airplane model is over 10 years. it will be a good 10 footer. While the clear dries hard, I will keep on decaling 3 other phantoms, then start painting the tires, which is another task I dread. Edited July 15, 2014 by Kurt H.
