Hans: The key chemical is ammonia. Of course, it's quite diluted but this is a common component of Windex and windshield (windscreen) washer fluid. They both do the same job. It dissolves acrylic. Note that when you buy those transparent acrylic display/trophy cases, they say NOT to clean with Windex or it will make a big old mess.

Barbarians... No more barbaric than making them in the first place - a little silver trophy for each person/plane you "killed". This seems to be a peculiarity of aeroplane pilots with their kill-markings on the side of the fuselage. I guess analogous "kill markings" were less common amongst other military entities; e.g. infantry, artillery?

AFAIK it is the aircraft E6351 "Nelly" captured in Archangielsk (sorry for Polish spelling), but after refurbishment. It is clear that all fabric surfaces were repainted with dark color, but I don't know if the name "Nelly", which had been painted on gray metal panel, was overpainted too. Does anybody have any photo of this Snipe, taken from starboard, after it had received ace of spades insignia?

You may see it as pervert to give a cup for a kill but at least in WWI also the artillerie marked their guns with kill marks (the Germans used a system with rings on the barrels of the 8.8) and already in the times of the Wild West some gunmen used to cut a carve into the wood of their guns for each killed opponent... Also in WWII allied bombers received a painted little bomb for each mission the machine had flown - for how many civilians killed? War is always barabaric. What I meant by mentionning the word "Barbarian" simply was the way the so called Russian liberators behaved in the liberated countries. Their heroic deeds mainly consisted of plundering, murdering, raping, destroying... Thousands of German women got raped by their liberators, and not only the German women. Ask the Polish, the Czechs and all the other... That does not mean that I support the Nazis in any way but the rape of the women of the slain enemy is in fact an act dating back to the old times of the Barbarians.

The last time I tried to buy decal paper and print my own decals for my Tommy, the ink just beaded up. The hobby shop said to put talcom powder on the paper first - didn't work. I almost got it to work by lightly sanding the decal paper. Then everybody told me it only works with a Xerox type machine. So when did they come out with decal paper that works with ink jet printers?
