Been in and out of here less regularly lately and I just saw the new Pizza cutter too, nice. Great progress here Bill on all fronts, and that OH-58 looks like a fine further project!

perdu Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 I did make some more MARINES transfers but I will not be removing the wrong 'un until after next Sunday If I can find a suitable medium to soften and remove the bad 'un at the show, does anyone have any solutions for a removal solution please? Anyway, the right side done now, for now maybe Need to fix that crease on the tank joint, not the best way to do that I would have thought, oh well OK lots more to do, ciao chapses 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Looking good Bill. Will be even better once matted. Reference removing the transfers. I'd have thought keep dabbing on Micro Set until it softens and you can lift it at the edges. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 looking suitably Billified it is. To be honest, had not that call been made on the font/sized etc. I would never have noticed. Even now, it doesn't jump out at me - but I am not familiar with the aircraft or markings 1 hour ago, perdu said: does anyone have any solutions for a removal solution please? How about this surgeons skull saw from circa 1850 or so? I mean, if a surgeon can use this to open someones skull, it must be capable of pretty delicate work ? Stands to reason... right? Eh? btw that was found on weird vintage surgical tools - Of particular cause for concern (or downright fear) was the Tobacco Smoke Enema (1750s-1810s) which interestingly (so they claim) gave rise to the popular phrase "blowing smoke up someone's..." well, you get the gist 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Ouch I needed some little panels for the flare and chaff dispensers, completely messed my head up as we say, then I discovered that Airfix had already provided on the transfer sheet This is what they gave me Obviously the window masking needs tidying up too but these were taken off the flag decals on the CH-53 sheet, just right huh and oh yes Betty is in da house,/jetpipe Wheels, antennae, wipers and rotors and we can get off to Halifax Phew 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks Martian me dear, to be honest I am considering re-visiting Betty with a view to getting her saved smaller in a vector format so more of her delights (oh that sensuous wink huh?) can be reproduced visibly But for now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually its little circles on these - a jpg PYO set (print size 8.3mm @300dpi) below, can email a TIF version if preferred: I reckon I'll hang on to that thanks Alan, looks like something that might come in handy soon I'm not sure if a.jpg or a .TIF file would be best but I can have fun finding out 😀. 👍 Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
