Fifer54 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm building a Hansa-Brandenburg W29 seaplane from the Toko/Roden kit. It has the lozenge camouflage, and decals are provided for that. I just wanted to ask if anyone has any tips for dealing with such big decals, the whole wing uppersurface has to be covered. I've never dealt with the lozenge camo, or with such extensive decals before. Is it straightforward to do, or should I be aware of any special techniques? I presume it's necessary to prime the surface, rather than just applying the decals to bare plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
