[WWI] ....of New decals

[Hooper, Dave]

Hi Dave

The article grew out of two ideas. One was to do somethings special for
the 100th aniversery of Cody's flight and the second was to try and
demystify and promote scratchbuilding as a craft in its own right
without trying to tread on Joel Christys or Harry Woodmans toes too
much. After 5 or 6 month work I'm not sure whether it achieved
everything or anything I hoped for but I've had a lot of nice comments
about it and it was very satisfying to do. Certainly the first part was
a bit of a dissappointment when some bright spark at the magazine
changed the wording on the plans to 1/48 scale and then printed it
smaller than 1/72.

Regards

Dave

Can I echo Neil's comments? It was great to see that the Editor spread
it over 5 issues so that Dave could explain
in detail how he did things. So often, scratch articles are a few pages
long and you don't really see how tings are
done.


New decal range looks interesting, there is a lack of RFC/RNAS sheets
out there.
