And them last decals in place and bucket loads of decalsoftener, punctured along the rivets to get that damt decal down.....now it is really melted in to the paint lol..all is clearcoated...all them rivets are there....thinking of getting a mask cutter printer....so i can cut them letters to....

 

next stop..prepare wash....got to figure wich tone in that, it is a clean machine....just want to make them pop out...ill figure it out...that camo color is special, so got to get that wash right that it fits with the whole....

Thanks Peter....

 

The last thing is that wash to get it right lol....since i i wont need to do that much exhaus stains and them machineguns stains......

 

Hard to do a brand new thing... lol .....in other words....Less Is More saying.

 

also got thoughts about finnish.. i think ill go for a semi sain/flat/gloss finnish.....it makes things look new...as theese birds in fact were 7 Dec- 41....
