How to do messages on bombs?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, January 16, 2003 5:55 PM
How do you write the messages that airmen like to write on bombs?
I thought about writing them with a very fine, sharp white Prismacolor on the bombs that come with AMT/Ertl's old 1/72 F-111A and F-16A. Blush [:I] or to make them on my computer and print them on a decal sheet. Anyone tried these and got them to work?
Also, where can I find pictures of these online?

I haven't actually tried it yet, but am going to try it using regular artists pencils; I have the waxy based ones and I'm hoping it works well without having to overcoat it...Either that, or using a 10/0 sable brush and not so much coffee in the AM to keep the jitters down...

Try using a white gel ink pen. I have used them in all colors and they work well.

HTH,

Hey skyline-r33, you're welcome, by the way, are you a skyline fan ? I'm in the process of finishing a 1/12 scale R33 GTR.
