| I didn't want to use one decal and then have the other three panels painted. It would have looked odd...or odder..? than this. Once the semi-gloss clear goes on it should look a bit better yet |

| I used part of the kit supplied decal and just cut the registration numbers free. (the decal included the entire wing accent swirl) I then masked the center of the swirl using the registration as a guide - this left the red underlying the clear portions of the decal as you see here. |

| the method I used was to paint the base red..then mask for the black. Then leaving the masks in place after the black had dried, I used the masks as a guide for the pen. keeping the line 'half on - half off' the tape edge. I made two passes with the pen allowing the lines to dry for an hour between passes. There was some bleed under the tape as there always seems to be, but as it is white paint the red easily covers it when I touched up. |

| Excellent job HW! Thanks for the tip on the sharpie too. That white had to be really thick or as you say, stout. |

| Looks fast, even with no engine installed! |

| Thanks for the information on the Sharpie. I am familiar with he rest. |

| More like a quasi steady hand and a bit of black and red touch up. The white striping is done with a sharpie poster paint marker from Staples.
Goes on smooth and stout and takes the clear coat just fine. |

| Looks pretty good. Steady hand. I'm working with the same colors and a similar design for the A-26. Guess I'll have to post a picture. |

| we'll see how it looks with the semi-gloss clear overcoat but this just might work out |
