laser color printer? i been thinking on getting one for some time.... have you done those decals with it before?
3 December 2017, 09:45
Cuajete
Hi Spanjaard, I already have them printed. They have been made by a graphic designer who makes them by order in a high quality laser color printer.

Spanjaard
ok, not the kind of printer you expect to have at home, right? 🙁 well, we will need to keep going to print services 🙂

BRAVO !!!!!!

It seems so, Andy. I hope he can pick up the project before the GB ends. I have several projects stopped for not being able to attend to them now, such as the DH.88 or the U-2. But they will all come to an end, sooner or later.

The last thing I did was strip the paint to repaint due to the harsh orange peel effect the yellow had when I put on the sand colored base coat. It is not appreciated in the pics, but that was not pleasing to the eye.

Simon, thanks for your comment 🙂

I looked through the whole project Cuajete- wow, some scratch building going off there! Masterful.
11 August 2022, 19:05
Cuajete
Thank you so much, Andy.
It was going to be a quick OOB build at first, but I started adding a few things until it finally made life difficult for me, 😄
