I may have some left over from the Koster Vac, and will check tonight and advise. "I tried hand painting the numbers and Black Maria, but when I went to paint it on the aeroplane I couldn't get the same good results that I got on practice paper." First, you might try painting on clear decal paper, and then using this in the same manner as any other waterslide decal. Second, you might want to investigate the vast array of railroad decals, and match the type style and size you need; I have done this many times and have always had pretty good luck matching up. Of course, you'll need to cut these out one letter/number at a time, but it still isn't as dull as rib taping. In all events, Pegasus has a sheet of British serial numbers that would work for Sopwith. I'll let you know tomorrow if I can solve your problem...

This is always my solution, since it makes matching paint for the trailing edge tapes so easy. And cutting strips to a consistent width is *easy* I bought two cheap 150mm (6") metal engineers rulers. Glue one to a sheet of glass with CyA, then glue a square of 15 thou styrene near each end of one side. Like this: _____ _____ | | | | |____| |____| ____________________________________ | | |___________________________________| Now glue the second ruler on top of the blocks, parallel to the first and leaving a gap correct for the tape width you need. Slip the prepainted decal sheet under the second ruler, butt it up to the first, run blade along the edge of the upper ruler (I do this in three light cuts) Flip out cut tape, push the sheet in and repeat. I can make a strip about every 10 seconds which is long enough to do three ribs. HINT: If you want to make a wing with blue tapes on top, pink under, paint the sheet with both colours so that the tapes will be cut across the join. Put the tape on the top, let it flip under the botton, slide until the join is at the LE and youve done both in one step. My way - it mightn't work for you but I find rib taping quite enjoyable done this way.

Many have said that airbrushing is their worst offender. Interesting because I find airbrushing the easiest of the tasks. But I think I know the reason. I clean my airbrush about every 2 or 3 years. After I use an airbrush, I spray thinner thru it to clean it out. BUT, I use only Floquil solvent based paint, never acrylics. That's why its so easy. Acrylics are the beast!

I'm yet to be convinced that blue top/pink underneath is any more than a figment of Superscales imagination so I tend to use one of blue/pink/loz on both surfaces. However, it does work! Incidentally, I made my first jig on an old cutting mat - and cut it in half making tapes for one model :-( Shane ************************************************************** The information contained in this E-Mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Others, especially Albatros used light blue on upper surfaces and pink on undersurfaces.

Hi Dennis, here's what I did on a real metal cowling on one of my R/C aircraft. I used a pencil eraser chucked into a Dremil tool, and gently touched it to the cowling until I had the right pressure to create the proper Swirl, then it's just a matter of moving along in the proper pattern. Hmmm!! I wonder if one mounted a small mechanical pencil eraser into a Dremil tool and used it on buffing metalizer Aluminum paint, In fact Dremil makes a rubber buffing bit that could be reduced in size to the scale needed and if used in a battery powered low speed Dremil just may work.

In fact, last week I was thinking about starting thids same thread just to piss and moan and landing gear problems. Let me add that sanding and filling is a close second. Mike Muth >> That's it for me too......I hate lining up landing gears......odd- top wings are no problem for me....after that- decaling- I hate the process, the materials, I don't know what it is. Now airbrushing- I love everything about it- the smell, the cussing, the noise, the RESULTS. RK ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 2441 **********************
