buzz Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I picked up an AA Trident Three at Telford and plan to adapt a set of Ray's Trident One/Two BEA Speedjack decals. Could anyone print me a couple sets set of Trident Three titles for the tail? Beer tokens can be sent via PayPal in exchange. Thanks, Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since your question has already more than 70 views and no answer, I' try to share my thoughts. For me it is impossible to print in white, at least in home printing. There are some producers as parkes682 decals https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/131-parkes682decals/ that perhaps is useful to contact. But, if you are in the know of the exact rgb or cmyk code of the blue, I would go for a sort of "negative printing": it is possible to print a blue rectangle on a transparent decal paper and letting the lettering clear. If you shoot the white on the area, you will place there the said rectangle. It would also be possible to cut the rectangle to the size and shape of a panel in order to get a more realistic effect. If you want, you can contact me directly for the size of the lettering and I'll do my best to rebuild the font with CAD (since if we cannot speak of a real font in that era). Of course, that is for free. Cheers Eugenio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Perfect! Thanks, Ray. Cheers, Roy Edited January 4, 2020 by buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Eugenio, Thanks for the offer. I think matching a blue decal to the blue paint would be difficult, it's something I avoid. I'll wait for Ray's new decals. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 The dark blue used by BEA in their Speed Jack era was a really odd shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 You could also get in touch with F-RSIN and see about getting hold of one of their 3b Speed Jack decal sheets. Luckily I have one in the stash which I'll be using on my AA kit, which, incidentally, is amazing. Quote The dark blue used by BEA in their Speed Jack era was a really odd shade. Actually Eric this is due to it having a green content, which can be seen clearly in strong sunlight. The Xtracolor BEA Blue 1960 enamel is close and a good match for the TwoSix Decal sheet.

Eric Mc Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Yes, if you were watching the sun glint off the tail of (say) a BEA Viscount or Trident, you could see the green aspect. It was almost pearlescent - although not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I have one in the stash which I'll be using on my AA kit, which, incidentally, is amazing. On Airlinercafe, Laurent (F-RSIN) suggested using his decal but didn't say that it was available separately from his kit and I said I didn't really want to but another kit just for the decal. When I later posted that Ray was going to be doing the decal and would therefore be sorted, Laurent seemed to take offence, saying I was "clearly not interested". Or maybe it was lost in translation.

Twisted French knickers is the more likely cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
