ChrisK89 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'll use the original WnW Lozenge decals on all my WnW models cause i don't like inconsistencies.. it looks pretty stupid to have so many different styles of fabric on my builds (just a personal opinion, no offense to anyone who is mixing the different manufactures). Besides the WnW decals are great! They sure should be cause cartograf printed them but try to keep the decals as small as possible else it will be difficult to remove any bubbles etc. cheers Chris Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrov27 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm an Aviattic convert - I just really like the colors they have achieved and the texture effect, fit, etc. That said I have seen some fine builds using the out of the box WNW loz - I do feel that some sort of overspray on them to tone them down helps them greatly though.

Aviattic Loz on my last DVII build: Wow, SUPER nice looking build Patrick! Highly unusual scheme too.........................That is why Im choosing to do Will Hipparts Jasta 74 mount, as I havnt seen decals or masks for his in 32nd and figured it would be a good MoJo starter with something really different that I liked.

LSP_K2 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 For the most part, even though I'm sure the quality is quite excellent, the WNW decals just look too stark and bright for my taste. As has been said though, once over sprayed with a toning down effect or wash, they would have the potential to actually look quite excellent.

DeanKB Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The WNW Lozenge is pretty good. Until you look at Aviattic's lozenge, which just looks like fabric. But certainly more than useable. Not that they are bad, just that Aviattics are brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Is the a/c you are looking to do the one with checkerboarded fuselage and "Mimmi" on the top wing? I believe decals are available for that one just FYI....

I believe decals are available for that one just FYI....Haha, yeah found that Pheon makes a set for his mount, but did NOT like the idea of using decals for all those checkers! I just got done making a "Mimmi." and a sheet of 9.5mm checker squares on my Silhouette cutter, so I can paint e everything on. Cheaper too. The only piece of the puzzle left for his mount were which lozenge decals to use, and thus thread has given me confidence to use the OOB WnW decals oversprayed with a highly deluded mix of neutral buff Edited May 12, 2017 by Out2gtcha LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I've used the WNW decals on at least three builds two are the same kit and I thought they were great. They react well to microsol and microset and basically turn into paint. I laid them down over gloss coated MM radome tan http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1927 http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1929 http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1928 Ron Out2gtcha and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbk57 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Here are a couple images of my DViI build with Aviatic decals. Not only can you show underlying detail you can create the overlap look that you see on the real plane. I just overlapped the edges of two sheets a little along the seems. I really like the effects you can achieve with these. So I am not saying there is anything wrong with WNW sheets, I just really like what I can do with these and would use them again if I build another DVII or any other aircraft the uses Lozenge. I would use their decals though on any fabric covered surface that they make an applicable sheet for. Doped linen is not the same as painted plastic or Opaque decal.

Out2gtcha Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 It looks WONDERFUL. I would definitely give the Aviatic decals a shot on a future WnW build for sure. I'll probably end up modifying the OOB decals, to keep the Mojo rolling on this one. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
