Just don't get disappointed when you see it on the model.  The transfer is only 14mm in diameter.

First batch of transfers on today.  I want to give these a weathered look before proceeding with the rest.

Looking very smart ! Nice work.

Thanks Cap'n.
 

Delightful as she is, I can't help feeling that the witch's anime face is a bit anachronistic, even for a bad movie made in the 1960s.

Agreed, and if one was seeking
versimilitude something along
the lines of Adolf stuffed into a
trashcan would be more likely.


Of course it's Fred's model, so his choice.

Deft decal placement.. final stretch is looming

Or a Vargas-style pinup.

And yes, it's verry definitely Fred's decision.

The pin-up style nose art is what got the
attention then and afterwards but it wasn't
actually the most common type. 

You were looking at her face?

Print quality isn't good enough to actually see facial detail and as I explained above choices were limited.

Seeing as the movie was shot in '65 I should have pasted Elizabeth Montgomery's face onto the figure and called the aircraft Bewitched...

Yeah, but there is a poo-poo load of stencils left to do and I have no idea what is lurking under the masking...

I probly shouldn't have go so carried away fading the OD.

But the corrections'll add realism

I've still got fond memories of that series. I was just starting to notice "ladies" 

Finished the rest of the transfers today.  Jeez it took a while.
On the plus side they were by Cartograph so worked just fine.
