Got the decals all done...only took two days!



First off...against my better judgement..I gave the shark mouth decal a go. It didn't go pleasantly. Decals are flat, noses are round this way, that way, and the other way.

Using the decal paper as a template, I cut masking for the outer edge. Cut up spare decals and stuck em to Tamiya tape. Once dried, they didn't stick to the tape at all. I peeled em up, put some Future on the tape and re-placed the decals...once that dried, I cut the teeth.

This really looks great..but, I’d expect no less! Wow....that is also a nifty trick with the tape!

Nice work on the shark mouth! Ditto on the other 110s.

Oh Hell Yes on the masks!!!

Great idea with the shark mouth mask, will remember that in the future.

Jeremy that was an outstanding idea with the masking! All of those planes look so incredibly masterful! Wow, I am overwhelmed!

Good to see you back in the saddle again Jeremy.

Thanks fellas!

It feels as though all things are right with the world again!

Moving along...

We're in the homestretch now!



...and here is something that I would very much like to never do again....EVER!!!!



Sorry for the blur...couldn't get a good focus.
Resin and PE FuG 202/212 radar set from Owl.
Even with the calming whispers from the "Admiral"....it was a solid 4 hours of "FuG...FuG...FuG... ....FuG... " .
The main "poles" were bent...the "X" pieces were crooked. I broke the damn thing in 5 spots. I enjoyed zero minutes of making that thing.
A very hard fought battle....just to get a "pass".

looks pretty good for all that. To some degree, I do feel the pain.

They say modeling is relaxing. Not while fighting these ridiculous complicated antennas.
