LSP_Kevin Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 No worries Kevin...Product is Parafilm "M" laboratory film.MicroMark.com. Never used any that didn't have backing paper?? I just checked it out, and it does indeed have a transparent backing. It's a product called Nescofilm, made by Alfresa Pharma Corporation, in Osaka, Japan.

williamj Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) How about some colour?? Just a few touch ups and then the dreaded ham fisted decaling job. And no..haven't used three shades of blue,the center pic is natural light midday,the last at dusk. dramatic lighting at dusk.

Cheers, Wolf Hope to have it finished this week Wolf..working up the letters "THIS.IS.IT! " on the nose this evening. Bit of a bear as Airfix got them wrong on their 1/24 so had to put the thinking cap on and do a changeup on the letters...cap doesn't fit like it used to either.
