    Dear all,

    I suggest a new approach to spray air force stars. "New" ... well, I haven't seen it anywhere before.

    In my personal list of things that ruin a day, large decals come somewhere between a ligament rupture and a flat tire.

    I've been spraying RAF roundels for a while, now for the first time I tried air force stars for my Tamiya 1/32 Birdcage.

    The natural way forward seems to be to spray the air frame first, continue with the dark blue circles and finally spray the white star. I found, however, that many things can go wrong doing it that way. I've tried the other way round ...

    You've obviously done a lot more work to the Corsair, Halvar, it's looking great!
