Short update
Masks off, decals on, decal will have to be removed again
The Xtracolor really is my favorite paint – it is easy to use, and it dries relatively fast, even though it will need a bit of time to cure fully. And so, here it is with the masks off
A bit different from the European 109’s with those yellow markings.
As for markings, I have a few decal sheets.
The one for the Buffalo has been mentioned earlier, but there are two here that might just be useful. The one to the left is from Techmod, and for a 108, the one on the right is from Maestro, and for Saab Safir.
The Techmod might just be OK in size for wings, and the ones for a Saab Safir’s wings will be just right for the fuselage. The Buffalo decals are too large for a 109 wing.
Alas – the fuselage is the right size, but the ones for the wings are just too small (and some of the most fragile I’ve yet encountered, plus they are really opaque) Plan B will see the one on the wing replaced by painted Hinomarus, but that will take a moment or three – I have to make masks, and get the right color mixed
Stay tuned for next round – comments welcome
