mgbooyv8 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Well done, that's the spirit!!! If you print the decals with a deskjet, do'nt forget to seal the prints with some kind of enamel clear lacqer before you dip them in water.

marauderdriver Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Laser Printer, They do suggest a light coat of Microscale Liguid Decal Film. and then a heaver coat. I'm goint to experiment with out and with Future. Will post some pics when I get that far. I should be able to print the decals tomorrow or Monday. Fingers crossed!!

marauderdriver Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Need your opinion on the color of the propeller hub cover... Unless you have a color picture, please LOOK at the photo and tell me what color YOU think it is. In my view it's Blue.....when compared to the rudder colors.......Just sayin' Let me know if you have definitive proof,,,Thanks Edited January 29, 2017 by marauderdriver BradG and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Looking at the rudder and stars and bars, I'd go with blue too. Got nothin' proof wise. Jim Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 To me, the spinner looks too light to match the blue on the tail. Take a look at this decal set. I wonder where they got their intel. http://maxmodels.squarespace.com/dying-sun-part-2-148/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Thanks Jim, Except for other builders models, staring at BW photos til my eye's hurt ...all 7 of them......I still think it's blue too! Check out BillS link ....jack To me, the spinner looks too light to match the blue on the tail. Take a look at this decal set. I wonder where they got their intel. http://maxmodels.squarespace.com/dying-sun-part-2-148/ Thanks Bill, The link is great, and never thought the anti-glare would be OD. or the tip would be red in front, yellow on back? Well the prop will be an interesting looking item when finished. I'll keep in line with what I see in you link, should be COOL Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I'd go with blue also... Little details to note : The left side of the rudder markings you showed is correct, but on the right side, mind that J2M3 is on the rudder and 3008 is on the fin. There is field repair also on both sides of the fin, and these appear as light patches on the darker section of the leading edge, right next to the number 2 on the right side view. On the left it is a small patch in front of the S. I have the Famous Aircraft of the World #61 which has 14 pictures of that aircraft, including 2 in its Japanese markings showing the damage. Great job on that kit which always was a much sought item, and frankly still is holding its own today! marauderdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 John & Alain......Thanks Guy's, makes me fell better about my eyes, but I went with red. All things I have found from kits to decal sheets come up red. Bill posted a link to a nice set of decal..This is my version so far dennismcc and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Notice the colors on the prop....I didn't expect....but I like the OD anti-glare panel Alain Gadbois, Shaka HI, BradG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
