Thanks, Kari.

If you haven't guessed by now, this is one of the Monogram Tri-Pacers I got a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if plastic gets more resistant to glue or what. I've had more things pop open than I have had in a long time. I many not be using the Tamiya Extra Thin correctly, either. That is a more likely possibility. I join the parts, wick the glue in and hold it for 10-20 seconds or clamp it. Got the white re-sprayed this morning.

Anyway. before paint

Decals printed, decided to take the "lazy" way out on the stripe.



decal applied. Touch up of one star needed. Don't know what happened here.

By the way, I know the windows suck. Pilot's window has pretty much popped loose. Anyway, made some more star decals. Fuselage stars are on white background and these are on a clear. I had to cut these into three pieces to apply.

Stars are looking good Lyle. I also see you have a entire drawer full of lighters on your bench, if your smoking that much during building you might try a more relaxing kit

I don’t smoke. I needed one for candle lighting, burning witches, etc. I could not find just one, so...

Those stars look really good!

You are a maestro in "make-your-own" decals !

Wish I would have energy even to test once..

Easy Peasy! Used the design tools from the Silhouette cutting machine. Works pretty well.

Nice work Lyle!

Thank you.
