The Westwings Flight Leader 109E-4 comes out looking like a Bf 109E-4, especially with paint and decals on it. |

I've always liked the color scheme and markings found on the early war 109s. And after seeing the movie "The One That Got Away" I've always wanted to do his aircraft, so I was very pleased when I found the decals in 1/24th scale. |

Oblt. Von Werra's 109 has been sitting on a shelf waiting for the decals to come in, and I've been working on the Spit that shot him down. |

Finally got the Von Werra decals from from Flightdecs in Thunderbay, Ontario, Canada. |

| Micro mark decal film, clear or white. Krylon spray. Are you sure there is a prop in this picture....my eyes must be older than I thought! Collect graphics from the net. |

| For what it's worth, I use Avery Peel and stick label paper, both clear and white. Cut out decal, peel and stick in place, and coat entire model with clear spray. No need for any pre coating of model b-4 using. |

| I think this is turning into a "Guillows Forum" subject. |

| Apperently there's also a "Transparency" setting (for overhead projecters) on some printers that really dumps on the ink. Helps with the saturation of color. |

| Whatever type of decal you order, make sure it fits your type of printer (i.e. laser or inkjet). The manufacturers specify the use. At least Micromark does. |

| Yes!
What do you know about making/printing decals on the computer? |

| I use the paper from Micro-Mark, I think John O. still does, at least he did at one point. I print the decals and let them dry for a few days, spray with Crystal Clear, and let dry for a few more days. The decals are not perfect, but they generally come out pretty good. An example would be my IAF version of the Guillow's F-15. |

| This looks super. Is the prop spinning so fast that I cannot see it? |

| Also try "hyas.com" for good "How to". |

| Waterslide decals are common as well as vinyl. "Papilio.com" has a good selection including "White base" waterslide for ink jets as well as laser printers. If you lightly coat your surface with a little turpentine,the decal wil become a bit flexible for more compound curves but becomes even more fragile so extra care is a must. 8 hour no touch time, and what does turpentine do to ones finish of choice? Scary. |

Tired of scratch building details I substituted the exhausts from the Guillow 500 series 109. I'm in need of information on making decals from the computer, would those that make decals from their computer tell me the best kind decal paper, decal fixitive, etc to use, also a good web site. |

An interesting feature of this 109 is the replacement panel just in front of the windscreen. |

A coat of Future has been sprayed overall and this Emil awaits for Von Werra's decals which have been ordered from a firm in northern Canada and hopefully will be in soon. |
| jerry campbell, Image # 11391 | 16 Mar 09 18:20 |
With most of the details added and out of the paint shop. |

| Nice. Really nice. I like the lines of this kit way more than mine. |
