AMT 1/72 YB-49 masks, stencils, decals
I just opened up AMT's 1/72 YB-49. It's not so complex, but the kit is so old that the decals have yellowed. Can any recommend replacement decals? If not specific for the YB-49, perhaps some generic cold war-era USAF decal set ("USAF" decals, USAF roundels w/ stripes, etc)?
Next, I'm wondering if anyone is aware of canopy masks for this kit?
Finally, the paint scheme calls for some black stripes to be painted on. What's the best way to do these? I'm planning to paint the plane with Tamiya's AS-12 bare-metal silver, so I'm not to worried about masking it if I have to.
The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”
