I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Obtained some self-stick vinyl letters from a local arts and crafts store. Pulled out the "O" from the centers of the letters "b." Seemed to be about the right size.

Went through a lot of "adjustments" of the templates until just right.

Right side view of the real aircraft. Trying to emulate the large paneling surrounding the engine.

About to add the British insignia. The Guillow's kit's roundels are too large and not to scale for this model. I'm going to have to carefully cutout the roundel right at the fine line. Most customized decals are generated from a computerized printer which only produces the image on paper. Therefore, the paper itself has the carrier film spread all over the sheet and each image must be cut out on it's own. Large letters and numbers shown in my previous postings, will each have to be cut out. I'm going to have them resized as they're too large for this fuselage. John Brantley does a good job at producing customized images, but needs to know the exact dimensions and letter fonts, logos, insignias and so forth. i

Applying custom decals before the rest of the stitching. A word about customized decals.... These three stripes are blank decal sheets with white color background. They were then cut into thin strips and the white colored background was allowed to slide off.

Very thin (I think 1/64") metal foil tape in and chrome. Almost anyone can obtain black chart tape, but not in metal finish. Again, at the specialty hair and nail stores
