Actually those were just printed on testors decal paper. The only decals you can't print on the testors sheets is the light, near white colors.

Re: B-25 - finished!

Thanks warbike. I have the Bf-110 kit next but will be some time before I can get to it. I really want to do a B-17 but can't find a kit that looks good enough yet :-( Here's one I found that looks pretty good. Its kind of expensive but looks great: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewI...

Re: PTE 1/18 Type 98 and 1/32 F-22 Raptor

Those came out nice :D Amazing what can be done with the PTE items when one puts their mind to them - one reason why I like them :wink: I like the way you did the missile bay on the F-22 and the cammo and weathering on the tank look great (night and day from its stock appearance).

PTE 1/18 Type 98 and 1/32 F-22 Raptor

Here are some pics of some projects I finished up over the summer. First is an 1/32 PTE F-22 Raptor. I rebuilt the front landing gear to be more accurate, added a 1/32 scale cockpit, hallowed out the air intakes, and added the missile bays with folding doors. Also gave it a badly needed paint job, D...

Look Great! Looking more like scale models than RCs. Get some scale pops and they could probably pass for real ones. Nice Work!

Correct me if I am wrong B-29, but I believe they are customs by Pickel.
You are right, the gun mounts are by pickel, but I built the rocket pods.

They all look great, but my personal favorite would be the P-51. Nice Job!! Are those decals or stencils? Thanks! All of the number markings are stencils. The nose art/kill flags/signature are decals. Razor- Here are some detail pics of the gun mounts and 7 tube rocket pods. http://i279.photobucket...

Coat them in fiberglass, makes them extremely smooth and gives it a more realistic appearance rather then the original foam.

Re: What should the next short build be ?

How about the UH-1D Huey Slick? I know you where waiting on jsi to release another Huey, but it doesn't seem like it will be showing up anytime soon. A Vietnam era Cobra Gunship would also be an excellent project.
