The lack of decals stopped me.

 

Masks for codes? Do you have generic decals for the serial? 

[nmayhew]

Tolga definitely get some masks cut!

plenty on here to help you

”I didn’t have any decals” is so 1/72 🙂

 

reference question for those who know Defiants:

was the wing walk / non-slip section really that pale blue-ish colour?

anyone know why / what it was made of?

(or is it just me being colourblind?!)

[mozart]

I have a set of masks ready if you’re interested Tolga, you could do a test of those too if you’re inclined! 
 

Let me know if you want them and I’ll pop them in the post.

Tolga, a superb build in every respect. The feedback is great and bodes well for the forthcoming kit and Peter, you should be congratulated on applying your engineering skills so effectively to a great subject.

I've just read this from start to finish and am stunned . Absolutely brilliant work by Peter and Tolga... and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it completed.

 

I want one (but in 1/24 scale )

 

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your suggestions and offers

Please give me a couple days. Peter will check the availability of the decals. If not, I will ask Max for the mask that is ready.

Thanks again for your help

Woww

This is bloody awesome !!

Stencils are also available. It was really worth the wait.

Thanks Peter

[Tolga ULGUR]

 

The decals that Peter sent arrived. And I started to place the decals.

 

 

 

Since the carrier film of the code letters was at a minimum level, the application was very successful. However, there were some problems with tail decal. Though plenty of decal solution, it was stubborn not to stick to the surface. This mutual stubbornnesslasted for hours. And I think it finally gave up out of tiredness.

 

 

 

 

And the stencils

Did the masks that I sent ever arrive Tolga?
