arnobiz Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Very impressive paint work, well done! How do you remove the masks? I guess a scalpel would be a bit risky? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A.C.Acikgoz Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 wow! nice decals!How did you draw the digit pattern? bye I've scanned the plastic tail part and resize the actual photos of the tail acording to this scan.. than I moved the image to Corel Draw and redraw it as vector image... Very impressive paint work, well done! How do you remove the masks? I guess a scalpel would be a bit risky? I've removed them with a dull pointed no:11 blade to avoid of scratchs.. and some fine pointed tweezers... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fustercluck Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Nice work! It took time,but you are getting great results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Wow, totally insane. I would have gone crazy after masking, for sure. Your patience must be never ending. And don't forget the specific NATO updates. I think there should be some lights on the bottom of the engines as well, as on polish Fulcrums.
