    Hi Matt,

    I don’t know if this will assist or be even a reasonable offer of advice at this point. You have some of the top minds already offered you their wisdom. I have a mate that swears by the use of a linen pad dipped in moderately warm to hot water and held firmly over the decal. Apparently the heat is sufficient to stretch the decal without causing an issue? No doubt test it first and I assume you would need to be wary of any splits in the decal so no moving the pad during application.

     

    Best of luck,

    Kent

    Hello John,

    Good to see another project on the go. You mentioned back on page 1 your wish for raised bezels on the Aires IP. Whilst not relevant now, are you aware of the below listed products from Airscale? Probably already on your radar (so to speak), but I thought I would point them out regardless as they may be of use at some later date.

    Thanks matey,

    Keeping my head down, a few small projects here and there and engaged in home schooling (which apparently, according to my pupils, I suck at!). Picked up the latest KLP book the other day for inspiration! Hopefully get a LSP back on the bench early next year.

    Nice choice John,

    I have a penchant for parking builds that I lose momentum on, so it’s nice to hear I am not alone. I have this one to build so a few AM pieces have been acquired.

     

    The one piece canopy is probably the Alley Cat one here:

    Best of luck and I will be following.

    Hi Thunnus, Looking at the outer port wing flap it’s possible they also could have used a combination of spray techniques - ....perhaps some 75 squiggle over the Mottled 76 as well ? you may wish incorporate this into your finish.

    I should probably do an update on my 262 but I’ve been doing a lot of project hopping at the moment.


    Good luck with your build and keep up the test fitting, this kit definitely requires it !

     

    All the best,

    cheers,

    Pete

    Mate,

    I would suggest you are correct. The He-219 at the Smithsonian was found to be RLM 76 squiggles over a dark base. I would also concur with Peter re the port flap. It is like an attempt was made to correct an overuse of RLM 76 in some areas by adding an extra dark squiggle here and there. 
     

    Loving what you are doing with this and thanks again for sharing your work.

     

    Regards,

    Kent
