                        Brother Can You Spare a Decal?
                        Posted by RESlusher on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 8:02 AM

                        Does anyone have a spare 1:32 scale Me-262 blue and red defense band decal like the one pictured below?  I'm going to start working on the Hasegawa 1:32 scale Me-262A and the kit didn't come with it.

                         

                        If you've got one and are willing to part with it, PM me and I'll send you my address.

                        Thanks in advance!  Big Smile

                        Why not simply mask and paint the band on the fuselage? Probably easier than applying a decal to that complex surface. Apply a base of flat white, then the color(s).

                        Nein! Bist du blind? Es ist dunkelblau! Whistling

                         

                        Painting is probably the smartest option. Nothing represents paint better than...... paint. Wink I avoid decals wherever possible. For difficult shapes to mask, decals are great. But easy stuff like fuselage bands or swastikas for example? Paint is the best.
