riversphynxz Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 This is my 1/72 Huey from Italeri. Cockpit and fuselage was build straight forward, no scratch building. Hataka Helo Drab was used for the main fuselage colour. Decals are printed by myself with a laser printer Tried the kit's decals but it craked and won't stick to the model so I just sticked to my home printed decals. Thanks for looking.

rotorwash Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Looking good. The Italeri kit is a repop of the old ESCI kit. I like the custom decals. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If you suspect kit decals of being old get Micro Scale's Decal Film. It is like a clear paint that dries exceptionally flat and if you don't remember which decal you coated you will never find it - ask me how I know this?!?!?? It will keep older decals from cracking up so you can use them. I'm sensing a theme with your home made decals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
