On the decal thing. When I did my "shelf airfield" I made up name labels & used the RAF roundels Greek cross. I got these, free, from a download. Cannot find quickly at present. They were very high quality graphics. If I can sort out later I will post. They may be of use.
Hi All things have gone a bit quiet at the moment as the Hasegawa replacement service have not come up with the decals. Steve is kindly sending me some spare decals that he has so will get on the case when they arrive.
Still not finished I'm afraid. The decals that Steve sent me arrived today but are smaller than the originals( thanks for sending them). So I'm unsure where to go on this one. I could remove the other decal,which would be a real pain and awkward to do with all the dangly bits already fitted, and start from scratch with both the decals but I then have the issue with the decals on the air breaks not matching up. The rest of the Stuka is finished and weathered, or do I just leave it as it is. Anybody's thoughts on this one?.
I finally took the plunged and removed the other decal and started with a complete new canvas on both sides. I had a few problems with the decals that Steve sent me. I don't know if they got bent or folded in the post but they did start to split when they were wetted prior to applying but all came good in the end. A small amount of touching up was needed. I have given them a coat of kear and subsequently weathered with a dark wash. So that leaves just a final flat coat and I will then post the finished Stuka in Aircraft Pictures.
