                        Patience my friend. Laugh [(-D]

                        I just got the replacement decals for the Skyraider today and I have been working on the F-15E's decals also. The F-15E has so many decals on it that it may be a month before I'm done. Wink [;)]
                        I am sick of all of those "No Step" decals and there are about 60 of them. Banged Head [banghead]

LOL. i guess i'll give you an extension since i can relate to the pain you're enduring. later.Big Smile [:D]

                        They are all over the top of modern aircraft warning you not to step on that area.
                        They have them on the wing slats, elevator, air intakes, access panels, etc.

                        Thpse are looking good Mike! I do hate decaling. The main decals are no big deal to me, but all the stencils will sideline a project mighty quickly. I feel your pain. I can't wait to see some finished pics though. How are your replacement decals for the Skyraider?

                        man, my trumpeter mig 19 decals... they are thin, opaque, and SOOOO DETAILED you can read "No step" on them. keep im mind they are 2 mm x 1 mm. the only problem: there are 3 schemes, a chinese, russian, and a german (english) one, so there are probubly 450+ decals on that...... not going to be pretty

                        Josh,

                        Thanks for the kind words.
                        The decals that were replaced came out good after finally getting them straight.
