    Hi,

    I really hoped by this time I can present you my build as a finished project, howerer due to my lack of computer skills, this project is stalled.

    The problem is, there are no adjacent decals, I could use for this plane, so I shall make my own cuts. I tried it, I was unhappy with the finish, so decided to make some drawingsbut I am not a pro at this, not even a rookie 😀

    If there is anyone, who might help me, please comment here, I can send a few pictures of the original and provide sizes. With a draw, it could be cut professionally and the kit could be finnally be finished.

    I have attached a few pics as an example, the one, I am willing to paint is HA-TRE. The source of these photos are airhystory.net and avia-info.hu

    I would be very pleased If someone could help me out.

    Best wishes,
    Gabor

    A very nice aircraft which definitely deserves some nice decals, Gabor @kistuz
    I'm not sure if this kind of service, to print personalized decals, is available on the net.
    Maybe some people here at iModeler do have the possibility to print those decals as well and might be willing to help you.
    Unfortunately I do not have that possibility myself.

    Actually "all" I ask is some digital draws, which could be used for cutting masks. It's not in my plans to use decals this time. So far everything was painted on this plane, except for the first aid markings, since this is an overtrees kit.

    @johnb Thank you for the kind words. This subject, 60's to 90's sport arcrafts are closest to my heart, and I am very glad that this subject is being recognised by manufacturers, since they have a huge potential and variety in paint schemes.

    Maybe someone would be kind enough to be the savior of this project 🙂

    Fantastic job so far, my friend @kistuz! I can see you have replicated the name in red at the front cowling and it looks nice from here. So, is it only the black codes you are after? If nothing else arises, you might think using generic codes of more or less the same size and style, based on the pic?

    Thank you Spiros @fiveten!
    I have found a mask for the logo in an old kit, I knew I’m not going to build so I simply stole it and painted as well.
    I’ve tried to find a simar font style, but what I had simply didn’t satisfy me. :/
