Making Your Own Decals

[Back in the Saddle]

The tip of the 'Egypt' fin now has the decals applied:

 

 

And I have reprinted the decals for the 'South Africa' fin and applied those too, using the same techniques described earlier. This is the first decal going on - you can see how oversized it is now, which helps the application:

 

 

And finally a group photo showing all three fuselages:

 

 

There are a few minor touch ups required, plus the obvious addition of wings, engines, etc.! However, the decal stage is done, which is what this thread was all about, so I'm calling this project done.👍

 

As soon as the models are finished I will post an RFI.🙂

 

Thanks for following along, hopefully you found something useful in my descriptions!

This trend is actually very interesting! At least for me. I have a big line with models and decals to do already, but I have some ideas on my mind for some future models and instead bothering some decal makers all the time I can start to do them myself. I have two models in mind for future projects. The 757 double be with United's Battleship Gray Livery and the Swissair Airbus A320 family. With UAL's idea I think it would be more difficut because it requires more Photoshop/Illustrator knowledge because of all the tiny curves and model shape. By other hand the Swissair A320 I have already the titles, coats of arms and logos sizes so I think it will be easier to manage to work and print!

Good luck Diogo! I certainly enjoyed the design element of this project.

 

As with many of my builds, this one has taken a back seat lately. However, I have about an evening’s worth of work to do to finish them off, so an RFI is imminent!

 

[Back in the Saddle]

This project is officially done!

 

An RFI is here if you would like to see the finished models.

 

Thanks for the support along the way, my next project involves some A380’s and 747-8’s…😁
