Here's a pic of the decals I put together last night. The Moose and Squirrel names are in yellow which I thought would look good against the OD green. Everything else is black. Then there are the gun truck markings which includes the "BLOOD SWEAT AND TIRES" in color. Sweat should be in white but my printer doesn't have that so back to yellow.



I just realized the Ace of Spades card image won't work unless I paint a white rectangle first. Drat!

Print some of them on white decal paper?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Or just cut out some rectangles from the white decal paper. Not sure I'll use that image. I got a little carried away with clipping images. Maybe on a later project.

They look great bud...those will really make this look awesome 👌 😃
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

The Badger and the Weasel have been sprayed with highlights, glossed and ready for decals. Progress!!!

Here's some pics of the paint work so far. Decals are on too.
I sprayed some highlights on the upper surfaces.







When I sprayed on the gloss coat some of the highlight disappeared. The areas that had more coverage held up but the light areas just blended in. My home made decals are working pretty good.











Some matte coat and then the fiddly bits. The end is in sight!

I may have missed something here. Does the big bit tow the little bit or are they like a tag team, they only go around in pairs, but not connected?

A bit like Grumman Guardians used to do while hunting subs.

Definitely a tag team. The 90mm gun takes out anything up to an MBT and the TOW takes out the T55s etc.

Matte applied. Kind of a satin finish. I might look for something really flat. It just doesn't look quite right yet.

They are looking very good  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I found a can of good old dullcoat at a local craft store. Now I can make it look right.
