Hi All
I forgot to add,the stencils and markings for the french version of the Airfix kit are included in the kit markings so i did not have to include them.

Hi All
Ive had a number of requests asking if i have any spares left over concerning the "Arctic Tiger" that where applied to the Super Etendard
These were made by 2 manufacturers Syhart and Model Alliance both now out of production.
Ive had several requests from all the world,asking me to put these back on a short run.
Well ,ive printed 8 sets with the following photos show these will be on a first come first serve basis.
The cost is £15, and £2.04 postage (recorded delivery within the UK) Oversea's will be £3.80
Payment by Paypal
The black strips will not be in the sets as this will cost more,and im trying to keep the costs down.

Hi All
Here's a New Decal Sheet ive been working on for a modeller in the USA.Its the "Akron Childrens Hospitial Air Ambulance" better known as "Air Bear 1"
There are no decals of this helicopter so i decided to completely draw up this scheme in 1:32 scale.
As you can see its in Silver/Dark Blue scheme and there are a lot of decals on this EC135.
Ive shown the test sheet drawings this included "Air Bear" with decals for both sides,this had to be "freehand" drawn on my PC.
Well have a look
As you can see there is a lot of work gone into this.
The "Bear" due to it has white in the artwork it has a "white" bear placed on first then a colour version on top.
The "stars" have a white star on first,and again a coloured one on top.There varies sizes of stars so varies white are put on first so the coloured stars dont disappear on the blue background.
The "White" Air Bear and N728AB are printed up black on the test shots,but end up white on the decal sheet.
You may also notice the 2 round "grills" that are printed black you can see where they go on the above photo.
Special thanks to Eric Larson for his photo's

Hi Stig
I made the EC-135's for West Midlands Police Air Support for there display cabinet at there base at Birmingham Airport.
The colour you want is a Ford Galaxy Blue car paint its a perfect match.
The yellow is Insigna yellow again a car paint.
Hope this helps

Hi Tonka
Your the second person to ask me about this aircraft,i was at our show Sutton Coldfield Model Makers Society on Sunday and one of the Tornado SIG asked me about it.
I will have to PM the costs of making this sheet.
Paul.

Hi Jason
PM sent "once they have gone thats it"

Hi All
Here's the second metallic ink a "Gold" Inkjet Printer.
Again,based on the Canom MP280 Printer this prints "Gold" on to clear decal sheet.
The photos show "Gold" printed on to paper,with Rolls Royce badges for Airliners engines,Cars almost anything.
The "Gold" is actually a nanoprint ink that has been specially developed and has "Brass" particles with a holding agent and some white inkjet ink in it.
The ink is still ongoing trials so i thought i would share with you the progress and to show whats in the pipeline for us modellers.
Please be aware this is "Cutting Edge" Technogly and trials are continuing with both Silver and Gold to further there development.
You may notice black particles in the image,this caused by Silver or Gold particles breaking down the remains of the black ink still left after cleaning.
As more ink is added (Silver/Gold) this will stop and the metallic will be coming through 100%

Hi
I will put that i my "to try" list
I can print text down to .5mm (half a millimetre) normally.
I will draw up a gauge up in autocad and try it.
Keep the idea's coming,i want to try it out on most things
Clocks and Gauges are a good idea
Paul

Could be ideal for those silver 4mm civil registration codes for Tiger Moths, etc!
Hi
I will add that to my list of "to do's" thanks for the comments,keep'in coming.

Hi Charley420
Its a bit technical to explain but if you have a few hours to spare i could tell you.
Its took 3 years to develop on from the white inkjet.
It goes through a Canon MP280 printer which has a black and tri-colour cartridges.
So,i can print black,Silver,and colours.
The silver ink is in one of the new spare black cartridges.
The ink to its chemical make up is wet (water based) it has microscopic particles of silver/aluminium and is held together in a holding agent.
Its simliar to the white inkjet.
The shine comes from the particles and a chemical in it,the silver stains the holding agent
Yes,its a trade secret.
Im still doing trials with it to see what it can do and not do

Hi All
Ive been trying out the printer and opening up the printers limits on various settings.
The "shine" effect comes at top end setting,to a "dull" setting im working to find its uses at the moment.
Here's some more photos.
Your comments are welcome

Hi All
This is a first for Britmodeller, I have being running some trials on a new "Silver" ink .
Its still Experimental but here are some of the trials photo's
The 24th Scale Truck Modellers have been pushing me to invent something like this for there badges,number plates etc.
The Ink has took us 3 years to get this stage,its from the same as the white inkjet ink
The ink has a "shine" to it and with different settings has "aluminium" dullness to it,im hoping to add colour to it to get a "Rainbow" Effect at a later stage.
Can i remind everybody this copyrighted 2014 Parkes682Decals

Most are in the the standard green camo and 1 in snow scheme.
