Bozothenutter Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 3 hours ago, petetasker said: It's crossed my mind how these MDC's are actually going to be applied to the model. So far I've only used the Kit World 3D decals and each time I've had to resort to using glue of some sort - qre Quinta any different? Not sure I fancy having glue anywhere around the transparency or are there techniques I don't know about. Rtfm....they actually tell you to use glue. 'Decal' is a total misnomer, decalpaper is only used because it has to be printed on something, and that something needs to seperate from the printed item easily.

Not sure there's really any need for 'RTFM' as you put it. My question really was just about techniques for applying on a transparency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenko Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I've started using MIG ultra glue (pva). Great stuff, ideal for these sort of "decals" and Eduard instrument panels. Worth a play around with. HTH Dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to CAD the CBLS to 3D print as aftermarket for the Bucc, unfortunately, I can't find any CBLS 100 dimensions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely not yellow cutlasses per the old Model Alliance sheet. Look close at those photos you referenced and you can make it out like it is as depicted on the mid 90s Xtradecal sheet: This old sheet was a work of art and excellently researched. The fox heads look authentically hand painted. Still the best buccaneer decal sheet ever done with the exception perhaps of the excellent sheet in the new kit save for an omission or two.- Jack IIRC, this was the work of the Late Dave Howley (RIP) who did a lot of work for the aviation modelling press and Hannants in the 1990s. As an aviation enthusiast and modeller of RAF aircraft he was meticulous with his research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadeocu Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Perhaps expected given that they did a similar set in 1/72, but very nice to see nonetheless: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagdtiger1 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) @Doccur Yeah, it is a bit of a shame that they don't sell the parts individually. I did find this smaller set which only includes the right engine and nose which seems to be roughly £20 cheaper than the full set. Hope it helps, James.

Lord Riot Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Only a few weeks to go until the release of the RAF Bucc yet I still haven’t seen any of the planned markings options, has anyone!? Hoping for a grey underside XV Sqn one and a wraparound mid 80s Lossiemouth example. Can’t wait for this, just in time for Chrimbo too!! I need about three of these beauties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
