  1. I will be buying the Typhoon but would not get the 1/48 Vulcan even for free. Horses for courses. I normally do Helicopters and then only in 72nd scale. Not sure to do just the bubble top or buy 2 and door the car door as well.

    I have never airbrushed anything this big before so looking forward to it.

  2. You are aware that you can buy "white" decal paper to make your own using a laser?

    Sorry if this seems like me telling you how to suck eggs, just not sure if you had considered it.

    You have just taught this Grandfather (1 2 yr old girl & 1 on the way) to suck eggs

    Didn't know you could buy white decal for lasers you learn something new everyday.

    I have only been back to modeling for around 6 months but boy has it changed. The idea of printing your own decals would have been black magic when I gave up It would of course be easy just scan a decal sheet seatbelt in and copy it all around the sheet changing colour would not be hard!! you are defenitly putting me on the track I want to go down. could do a load of lap straps as well

    Thanks for the info

  3. Decals will do me fine I don't need to super detail as I find that to me it takes a lot of the enjoyment of modelling for me. I just want a decal to do the job. I do use Tamiya tape but find I like decals better.

    My models are best looked at from 4 ft away

  4. Does anyone do decal sheets of seat belts?

    I am not interested in Photo etch for the seat belts on my models since I made some on a Merlin cockpit but the result after much cussing ,feeding the carpet monster & the sheer frustration of small parts I can hardly see was not what I had hoped for .After all this work the the result was "lost" under the kit transparency. I do notice that some kits supply the seat belts on the kit decals and for what I do this is fine but I am looking for a sheet that has several items on it maybe in different colours .

    I have thought of having a go with home made decals but my printer is a colour laser and wont do white.

    Any help in pointing me in the right direction gratefully received..

    Quick build for £2.99 no after market or anything just started dry fitting and before you know it out pops a sea fury.

    Decals are the ones in the PM kit Not worried about the accuracy of the kit just enjoyed building it and seeing the result.
