kikka Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 i am currently trying to find the decals for a low viz skyhawk . unfortunately there is nothing available . so i was wondering if there would be an available or easy to do masks for the biggest parts ? the stencils can be done on a printer but the major markings are best painted . i am really not good at making masks and i dont have a silhouette cutter . anyway , thanks for reading!

1to1scale Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 A method is to get a sheet of masking material (Tamiya) and apply the decal to it, then cut with a hobby knife. For insignia and letters, you can purchase those from companies like Maketar and DN models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikka Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 A-4M . Tomcats or black sheeps . But if there is an easier scheme I will go for it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Too bad Two Bobs never considered upscaling their set and Zotz had no interest in low viz markings sets. A friend of mine wants to do the same thing. He intends to recycle some markings from AV-8B sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale_artisan Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hi Kikka, I know the feeling lad! I have the same problem with a two-seat 1/32 Scooter. I want to apply a low-viz paint scheme but there are no decals and particularly sn-numbers available for the specific scale. Perhaps what Laurent is suggesting (at least for my case) would do the job - borrowing from an AV-8 the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikka Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Numbers will be done in masks . Stencils and intricate designs insignas will be Impossible unless it's a decal Wich is why I went for the two schemes in particular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 There are these which might be of use http://www.advmodprds.com/a432.html and these, make sure you're sitting down first! https://www.tailormadedecals.com/lng/en/decals/jets/a-4-skyhawk/132/ It is a pity no one has produced a low viz/aggressor sheet, maybe AOA will..?

kikka Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Aggressors are my back up . But honestly stencils and insignas are the only problem . Some insignas can be made by masks if I find a template. And stencils can be used from other kits . I'm am looking into that but I do t have time or knowledge . Especially when it come to american planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
