Gauging interest... 1/32 P-51D/K stencils - dry transfers?

[Jennings Heilig 15,624]

I've been playing around with the idea of doing our factory spec P-51 stencils as dry transfers.  Even when printed by Cartograf, you're still looking at a clear carrier film on a gleaming NMF airplane unless you use some kind of dry or HGW type wet transfers.  I've never found any company that knows how to do the HGW style, and Cartograf tells me that technology leaves something to be desired (they've experimented with it).  But I know that dry transfers give good results when used properly.  Yes, they can be a PITA to apply, but most of the stencils on the Mustang go on flat or simply curved surfaces, so they shouldn't be that hard to apply.  

If we were to do such a thing, it would have to include only the actual exterior airframe stencils so that we don't get into a really expensive palette of colors, so no prop markings, no wheel well stuff, no cockpit stuff.  Just what goes on the outside of the airplane itself.  

 

Anyone interested?  No idea (yet) what the price would be.  More than waterslide decals, to be sure, but I don't think it will be outrageous either.

 

Tx!

For my part (I’ve used them) dry transfers are great. I’ve had much better and more consistent results with dry than the wet ones. Still have a Tamiya mustang in the stash and would be interested in the opportunity to use them on that kit.

I'd be in for three to four sets!

I'm up for a set.

It is certainly something I would consider.  I have used HGW's I agree their solution is not perfect.  I have only tried them once though.  I know I will be doing a Mustang again.  Could you also drop an update on when to expect the Lightning sheet?

2 or 3 sets for me!

I’m hoping they’re going to ship this week, but I don’t know what kind of delay there might be in getting it out of Italy...

I would be up for a few sheets! Dry transfers are the best! There are other wet transfer sets out there; I don't know who makes them, but I know both a company out of Japan as well as FCM out of S. America has released the wet transfer type before.

I will take 3 sets.

 

Also please consider doing a set for P-47's

 

Thanks a lot

I’ve never used dry transfers but have a couple of Mustangs in the stash so would be interested in giving them a go.
