That's some mighty fine detail work there, Mr Miller! I really like your shroud around the gat. Nice touch.

I'm working on picking out the rest of the decals for this project, but I'm wondering if these would put it over the top. These came with the original B-25. what do you think? Too much?

Over the top? Naaaah. I say, go for it!

Sounds like a good plan----Just watch out as that might be a lot of "visible" clear decal film in the end...  :o

Hmmm...I'd think it would silver like crazy. Hate to see that finish ruined !

I've learned to trim all the excess clear film out as the decal is setting with a very sharp blade. That's how I've learned to deal with the big Blue Angel US NAVY decals under the wings. Neat trick I picked up in the FSM mag. :)

I don't know....depending on how the light hits it, there might STILL be a chance of decal-silvering.

You'd, um, better just send the big twin-pusher B-25 over to me once it's all done for a final inspection.

You know...."final" inspection.

Over here, at my place.

Be careful what you wish for..... ;)

The decalling has begun. No big words on the wings. No room! :lol:

Stellar!  I was just envisioning the time process in trimming all of those decals (the big words)...and thought, "oh wow...he is going to go crazy." Of course, I had forgotten the awesome job on the Blue Angels bird.

  My bad.

Coolness Maximus!  The decals really pop against the dark paint. It may have been a long road, but boy was the journey worth it, final stretch Eddie, Final stretch :)

Incredible result! Very, very good. Shame the big decals didn't fit.
