AD-4N Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Remarkable decal job considering you used no gloss coat. Amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Really nice F-117 - I don't know how you pulled off this finish without a gloss coat, but it looks awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you sir, and thanks again for putting out the decal sheet with some great options! As for the finish, light coats of flat NATO Black, and buffing with a soft t-shirt prior to laying down the decals. I did put a couple of coats of Testors Dull Coat over it to seal it all up...though under lights it does appear to show a bit of a sheen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I am glad all the time I spent squinting to read the stencilling in those ancient photos was not for nothing - a lot of them are readable and I am sure you will find it to be a vast improvement over the inaccurate kit stencilling. Too bad the first batch sold out so quickly - but I will definitely do a reprint along with the FJ-3 sheets. Edited January 16, 2021 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Yes the stencils are awesome Kursad! I’m glad you spent time on them too! They are most definitely readable! As I look at my photos, I’m spotting areas I of paint I wish I touched up before decaling. In the future, I might use photos to spot errors as I work.

YF65_CH53E Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Beautiful just beautiful i have this this on the bench now to do in USMC decals. After seeing this I may do Navy. Love the international orange/white. The aircraft data (stenciling) is very worth the effort as it just sets this model off. So accurate. As an aircraft mechanic both in the Marine Corps and civilian I appreciate those details, and accuracy. Well done Sir! Bravo Zulu! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks - I was hoping you could help with the stencilling for the CH-53 (only twin engine variants for now) sheet in the works. I will post some images with my questions in the CH-53 thread later in the week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YF65_CH53E Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Kursad, Absolutely, here to help any way I can. I will look to that thread for your questions. r/Gunny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
