Waiting for Decals!
Drat. I glossed up no.13 in preparation for decals when I hit a temporary dead end. Otakis's kit decals are too old, cracked and absolutely useless so I thought the red star & bars set I have in my decal dungeon would do the job but no, too small. Now I am waiting for a sheet from Fundekals to arrive.
In the meantime I added stretched sprue brake lines to the gear and drilled out the scissor springs.
The real dilemma is I have no proper decals for the VF-16 mascot "Flying Airedale" except what came in the kit. I'm trying to track down newer ones that are included in the Hobbyboss F6f-3 Early kit. The Otaki decal looks like this but I am afraid to use it:
-
1. carrier film
2. print is muddy
3. height: .63cm
This is what it’s supposed to look like:
I guess I will move on to another build while I wait for those decals.
Here's where I'm stalled out for the moment. I'm using decal numbers from Techmod and the new Squadron.
