pperkins Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 well its all painted white when to but the stripes on to get the line to paint the bottom blue and they dont seam to to fit in the correct way they are far to high so i took them off and going to paint the blue first then fiddle the stipe decal in place and do some jiggling to get them all to fit over the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 That is the worst bit, trying to mould straight line decals over compound curves. I have built a couple of the Minicraft 757s and have had similar issues with different schemes. I'm sure you will sort it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That's the part I like the most, when the decals go on and it starts to look the part! Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent-off Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Great job! By the way - is this the same kit as the Minicraft NASA? I'm a bit confused with the AA livery on the box, but the angled tailfin tells me it has to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pperkins Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Great job! By the way - is this the same kit as the Minicraft NASA? I'm a bit confused with the AA livery on the box, but the angled tailfin tells me it has to be the same. This the same kit they just added diffrent decals every time they released the kit think in total there was 10 diffrent ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
