Wood Grain Decals by HGW

Recommended Posts

Greetings all,

Jan Bobek of HGW has been releasing beau coup detail parts for aviation subjects for over a year and a half. I picked up some of his Wood Grain Decals and had a go. The sets I tried first were for the Eduard or Blue Max 1:48 Austro - Hungarian Albatros D.III (Oeffag). While good decals overall I highly suggest a clear coat before using them.

The 1:48 Austro-Hungarian Sworl Camouflage is by Piotr at Mirage. Very decent decals too by the way.

Well went for the old fashion way with mine, and used oil paint streaked over sandcolor. This is how far I got untill now:

Yours looks great!! Got a message todat from HGW decals, they gonna send me a new sheet. I will probably use it on mu weekend edition I received today.

Adding bottom wings was most difficult part so, very flimsy!

Cheers, Nico (who's finally again on a WW1 course after many 1930's biplanes :-)

Thanks for sharing examples of your work, Jack -

They are all superb - I especially like the battle damaged ones - great work. I was reading your profile - I am probably going to seem really stupid asking this - but what is a 'federal corrections officer' ? Sounds a really interesting line of work!

No worries Andy, Just to mention how I did it. I find that if you clear coat the decal and use it within 16-20 hours of spraying the top coat they work very well. Micro Sol tends to soften the decal. If the lacquer top coat is not fully cured it works like a charm. B)
