Guest Maxim Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Love your work but could you hurry up and finish it? One, I can't wait to see it finished and two, Injection kit to follow about 6 months after you finish yours. Really nice progress and great work!

Starfighter Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Progress was very limited during the last few weeks; my friend Bekim is currently working on a CAD file of the canopy and I have been working on the markings. I have decided to mask most of the markings, but I'll have decals printed for the small markings and stencils as well. My friend Axel has cut a set of custom masks on his Silhouette plotter; I have used them to paint some of the larger markings last week end. The windows will of course get a 'glass' - I have just sprayed them on to define their exact positions. The result is pretty convincing in my opinion. Seems that I need a Silhouette Cameo as well...

Guest Maxim Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Great work !You make it look so easy. Don't want to jump the gun but what's next after the S-3 is complete? RA-5C by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Ben, brilliant as always ... that's some really crisp masking. I have to say I'm completely hooked on masks now - don't know if I can ever go back to decals. I will have to learn how to work a Silhouette cutter or it'll be too expensive!

Starfighter Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Terrific work, Ben! Kev Thank you, Kevin! Great work !You make it look so easy. Don't want to jump the gun but what's next after the S-3 is complete? RA-5C by any chance? Thanks mate! I think the Hawkeye or the Greyhound will be next, the Vigi is a bit lower on my list. I have to finish my carrier deck and elevator as well... Ben, brilliant as always ... that's some really crisp masking.

The only problem is that very small elements can't be cut, so decals will remain essential... Things like Bureau Numbers or pilot names for example. Working with a Silhouette doesn't seem to be overly difficult, all you need is a vector layout of the masks you want to cut.

Great work for SURE Ben! I love my little Silhouette cutter. I have the Silhouette Portrait, and not the Cameo, which is a bit smaller, but I found anything that I normally cut is pretty small, so didnt feel the need for the larger Cameo. Either way, they are invaluable IMHO. Ive done SO much with mine (including a 1:1 Mopar stripe for my Jeep!) that it has paid for itself many many times over. I wold also recommend the upgrade to the "Designer Edition" software, as its ability to nest multiple cutouts, and especially its ability to import/export Vectors was essential for me personally.
