1/48 Chinook 'walkway' decal template HERE!
Posted by oldhooker on Wednesday, February 21, 2007 11:52 PM

Those of you who are building the 1/48 ACH-47, or are converting it to a "Slick", here is a template for three non-skid walkway patterns.     

**here's the same image in ".tif" format - http://gunsagogo.org/another1.tif**recommend using the .tif image as it's better quality, but it won't display on here**

For those who aren't familiar with making ones own decals, buy a pack of waterslide transparent decal paper (print test page on plain paper 1st), set your printer on Best Quality and Landscape and print it out.       Get a can of Krylon Clear spray paint at Wally World and put a coat on the decal sheet.... allow to dry in dust free area.... trim close.... apply like standard decals.     It is recommended that you apply decals to a gloss finish (gloss coat or future) to prevent clouding, then overspray with dullcoat.

Hope some may be able to use this. Smile [:)]

Take care,

Frank

If you don't have any decal paper to print on, you can used gloss photo paper to print on, then later use that to photo-copy to decal paper in the method Frank described
