Sabre F-86 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 BTW Menelaos, could you perhaps give me some information on how you are developing the stencils? I can see where I'm going to have to do that too, but have never done it and have next to no idea where to start. Tks Sabre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Sabre, you'll need a clear or white decal sheet for either incjet or laser printer, a graphic software and a good photo printer. In the big 1:18 scale the pixel number should be not so tiny as is it in the 1:48 or even 1:32 sclae, so the details on the stencils whould be clear and bright.. Just don't forgett that after they are dry, to spray them with matt clear (or gloss). more updates to come... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menelaos Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 CAUTION!!!! For all those that want to use the original markings of the Kit just think about that the 24+33 was actualy an RF-104G!!! http://www.916-starfighter.de/Large/2433.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stusbke Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I was wondering something while I was looking at the pictures is the "model" build from plastic or is this one of those metal toys? Greetz STB Frederick Jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 no it's all made from plastic (it's not styrene something other polymere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 thanks.. I currently work on the stencils i had not realized how similar (exact) Greek markings were to Argentinian markings- Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Lee just notice that the light blue roundels were the early ones (until begin 70es). That blue is still a little darker as the argentinian ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menelaos Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 some changes in the stencils: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 update: I made the front instrument panel from scratch: I copied the plans from Verlindens lock on and sclaed it down to the 1:18. The rest is plastic styrene.... too sad that the old Esci cockpit is in the 1:12 scale.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
