Hey Gang!
Finally, some decal and colors!. O.k, o.k., so you notice there's
no N#. I gotta have a reprint done on my next batch of
decals. I missed scaled it. (too small) .
-Decals are all custom designed by me and printed by Fireball.
-The wire strikes were all fabed from styrene sheet and round stock.
-Antenna from styrene rod.
-Vertical stablisers from styrene sheet
-Bottom of Fenestron tail from 10# balsa core.
-External Oxygens were made from 10# balsa core, patched w/ Squdron
putty & sealed w/ brush on CA. Lock-Tite brand. Future
external oxygens will be vac-formed. They both work very well.
THE CURVE. I learned that when having custom decals printed, when
you have a very large, solid colored area, there are many printing
imperfections that do not appear until the decal is applied. Dowh!
Next time, I'll base paint the white banner design and leave the decaling for the logos and lettering.
Next is having to use a lot of Micro-Sol to get the large decal to fit
all the detailed rivets and other raised detailing. There's a lot
on the EC-135 which requires a lot of micro-sol applications. A
lot!
Otherwise, it works and looks great. When you've been away for
about 14 years as I have. You do get rusty and you do have to
start all over again.
And now the pictures folks!
Cheers!
