Slow start to the MB-339.

Good start Lou, I see you've been using Gorilla glue. Regards Paul.

lastvautour

Gorilla glue was just used for the lamination of the fuselage.

Thank you Barry. I want to do a series of 1/48 jets.

Not much going on. It has been quite chilly in my unfinished basement. It normally hangs around 14 to 16C but lately it was closer to 10C.

I think we are all suffering with this bad weather Lou,its holding us up and impossible to even put primer on.

Wing fences and body fins are glued and putty has been sanded. Still have not decided what colour scheme as the Freccia Tricolore is beyond my decal making skills. The striping is fine but the lettering is out of the question.

Lou,
Can you show us the lettering you'd have trouble with?   Is this it?



Mark

Yes it is. My printer does not make solid colours hence the problem with clear decal film. To cut around the yellow letters on white film is also not very feasible. I looked to buy some aftermarket decals but nobody puts them out.

Lou,
Have you ever tried carefully positioning one decal on top of another to get good color opacity?   Not as hard as it sounds.
