speedy Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I've got a 1/96 Novo Comet and it doesn't have any decals. How do i paint/create the oval windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I was gonna say summit sarcastic about not painting windows because you need to see through them, but I won't now Oh, forgot to mention. Make a template from masking tape & re-use it? Worth a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 With great difficulty? I am not familiar with this kit/scale, but an alternative I have used on 1/144 is to drill out the windows and then glaze them with Clearfix/Microscale Liquid. A lot of work, mind you, and if the plastic is very thick you need to either thin it down or at least paint the 'sill' before you glaze. Good luck Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 apart from the obvious of masking/template you could try and visit a local Stationery shop. Some companies do make decals sheets of various shapes and in various colours. You might just find something close to what you need. I used to work for a Stationery wholesaler, and built up my own personal collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 If you don't mind decal windows you could try contacting Ray at Two Six decals to see if he can re-scale one of his Comet sheets for you. Alternatively, if you don't mind Dan Air he already does a 1/96 sheet; http://www.lycoseshop.co.uk/epages/luk.sf/.../Products/96-07 HTH Keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
