Black Knight Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 If someone can hep with the scale and the flags I may be a able to do some spray masks (my new thing since buying a vinyl cutter) I was supprised to fond that I could cut a perfect roundel for the fuselage in 1/72. If the build is 1/48 a few squares and triangles should not be that difficult Sean, would you be able and willing to cut a letter mask, or two for my 1/24th Hurricane? Story; I got the Montex masks for it but they appear to have given it the wrong individual code letter. I need a question mark [ ? ] as the code letter [probably without the bottom dot] I am of course willing to pay you for it. Its beyond me to cut a mask neatly.

I need a question mark [ ? ] as the code letter [probably without the bottom dot] I am of course willing to pay you for it. Its beyond me to cut a mask neatly. Fred Fred, Happy two. I have just moved so we are in a bit of a mess. If its for the group build the we have time. I should be up and running shortly. if you can send me a scan or something to go on then that would be great. Other than the Roundels. I have no idea what dimensions letters are and I am using decals as a cheat sheet. I can do a couple so you can test sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thank you Sean. There is no rush on it at all. It'll be next year before the masks are needed. I'll PM you those details in due time. F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwaterous Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 What I'm wondering is this? Does a started(but stalled) revell 1:32 he 111p qualify for this. The only problem might be the 25% rule. The interior is painted, but not weathered, and the engines are stuck together with no paint on them yet. Do I qualify with this one? If not, there's entry of other things around, I'll just build one of them... K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 "Athenians: [...]This is no fair fight, with honour on one side and shame on the other. It is rather a question of saving your lives and not resisting those who are far too strong for you. "Melians: Yet we know that in war fortune sometimes makes the odds more level than could be expected from the difference in numbers of the two sides. And if we surrender, then all our hope is lost at once, whereas, so long as we remain in action, there is still a hope that we may yet stand upright." -- Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, Book II, Ch. 34 1.
