Any updates on your build?

I've been trying to reach Barracuda Decals and no one is answering their emails.

Would you have a phone number for them?

 

Thanks!

Ed

 

Hi Ed

unfortunately i dont have any contact info for barracuda, ive never used any of their products.. yet

 

small update coming soon, i have a grey wash done over FF59 and the second corsair is almost ready for paint!

 

One question for my fellow LSP'ers the dark sea blue corsair, where they gloss or more satin like the 3 tones ?

Thanks for the reply. Where did the decals come from that you used? 

The FF56 are Out of the box. The second 3 tone are HGW wet transfer

Well the twin just got completed

 

ive learned some lessons on this one, 

- i dont like the HGW wet transfer decals, the top insignia had some crumble and the bottom one bubbles. 

- When it come to fiber optics

-- not a great idea to have them in movable parts (wingfold)

-- they dont like super glue

-- they dont like Tamiya extra thin

-- they get less flexible once painted 

last night while finalizing the wing fold i broke 3 stands on the right wing and 1 on the right, rendering nav light 1 position light and 1 top light useless, ive rarely been mad while model building but i had to put the plane down for couple hours to prevent myself from throwing it at the wall.

 

All in all it was a fun project and i learned a bunch of new things so its a win in my book

 

here are some tease shots
