Durangokid Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just wanted to give everyone who is going to build this a heads up that the stencil decals for the main body appear to be too light. I used MPP 36375 as the instructions call for and it's not even close, the decals are lighter than the paint! The MPR color could be a tad dark but really that's not the issue, the decals are either the wrong color, too opaque or a combination of both. Also note that according to Dave Roof the top paint color call out is wrong and should be 35237. That is what I used on mine since 36320 wasn't even close and I remember it was the color I used on my KH AH-1Z. This is a real bummer, not really sure where to go from here. I do have Dave's Zulu decals on preorder so I'll probably wait until then. I think he said he was including enough stencils for two birds so that will really help... You guys might want to use that option too. Here is how it looks... Here is how they look on the Kitty Hawk... Note: These are Werner's Wings decals The kit is fantastic but the decals SUCK!

Out2gtcha Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 That is a bit disappointing. Might end up getting some of Dave's decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Wow, now that is what I call low-viz markings! Would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison of the kit vs. Dave's decals. Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durangokid Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 I thought I saw that Werner's Wings had decals in 35th scale but I couldn't find them on his site. Anyone have the scoop on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghatherly Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I hope Dave Prints lots of these sets, it looks like they are needed. Durangokid and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otis252 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Werner's Wings AH-1Z decals are great, as I'm sure Dave's will be. Now, if some one would just do a pair of accurate seats with cushions and belts. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also get the Flying Leathernecks sheet as I prefer the markings offered by Dave, but I need to make progress on my kit once I have a replacement part for my cracked windshield...

Ah I only ask, as the only AH-1Z WW decals I knew about, were those for the KHM 1/48th kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
