Excellent work so far. I like it very much.
My biggest build is the 1/32 He-111.
How do you cut the perfect circle for masking ?

Folkwulfe · Post by **Folkwulfe** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 4:02 pm

I have a cutting compass. Instead of a drawing pencil, there is a cutting blade. It will cut circles up to about 6 inches across at the largest. In the upper part of the picture is copies of the original decal sheet. I mark the center of one and use it as a master for the circle size, then transfer to the masking tape on a cutting mat and VIOLA....

The wing insignias are on...

All the small decals are on...ready for some minor paint repairs and last details like the antenna wire.

....just have to paint the "6" on both fuselage sides and the markings will be finished...

Magnificent progress, it’s been a while since I viewed this thread.

Folkwulfe · Post by **Folkwulfe** » Fri Oct 02, 2020 6:22 am

Thank you sir...more to come....

The "2106" under the "Navy" is on...not perfect, but I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.

Almost time for glamour shots...

cnq · Post by **cnq** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 6:21 am

excellent progress. I can't wait to see it finished.

Folkwulfe · Post by **Folkwulfe** » Mon Oct 05, 2020 5:16 am

Thank you sir, however there is going to be a delay. Right now I have a priority family matter that must take all of my time. Please be patient...

She looks so forlorn just hanging there...waiting.

But the wait is pretty much over and work should start anew to finish this project.
