perdu Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Any Hunter is a thing of beauty, yours excels. I think you'll enjoy making the markings you need There's a font on the internet that gives the letters you'd need if you were going to print some off for a decal "answer" I can't remember its name but a quick googling should sort that for you. RAF- something it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Decided to go for 72 Squadron but I don't quite like the look of the Fantasy Printshop decals as the arrow doesn't look right to me. So... I'm gonna print a few of these off on A4 and make some masking tape masks for the fuselage markings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Masking attempt number one. Edges are a bit rough, one if the arrows looks undersized on the starboard side and I've got some over spray. However, I'm pretty happy with how it's looking! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Basically I assumed that Alclad Lacquer was actually Lacquer. Turns out its an enamel. ....aaannndd I used a enamel based wash product. It's eaten straight into the paint and messed it all up down to the primer basically. Almost all of the topside green and some of the grey needs rubbing back and repainting whilst attempting to keep the weathering the same at all points. I'm not a happy chap, when a bottle says Lacquer on it, I kinda expect it to be Lacquer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
