JohnB Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 1 hour ago, GazzaS said: VEry nice progress, John. Thank you Gaz. I decided to try to make my own N number decals instead of waiting for the masks. I was pleasantly surprised to find the right font configuration on one of my old decal sheets. Of course they were a bit too big and they were RED but, using my scanner, computer, and laser printer they worked out fine. Now I'll clean up the edges some and then overspray them with clear gloss and they will be ready to use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Have you done Miss America yet? 🙂 Talk about a pretty aircraft! The white looks terrific, and you laser-printed those markings? On a Laser Printer? Wow, have not heard that one before. I've done markings on an inkjet. More to think about! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I haven't done that one. I've used my laser printer on a lot of my builds. Sure gives you more latitude for markings and subjects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 John Terrific progress on your latest Mustang and a nice decision on making your own decals and markings. Of course, no way could you have built so far as many Mustangs as Corsairs and my money is riding on the Corsairs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just counted 'em and I have 17 1/32 P-51's including some SH P-51A's and a A-36. I have 17 Corsairs all Tamiya except for 2 Trumpeter. The mask for the fuselage stripes on this racer P-51 were mailed last Tuesday but haven't arrived yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 John I sure hope the model companies making both 1/32 P-51 and Corsair, send you a gift or two for your loyal support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 This one has been sitting idle since early November while I was waiting for some masks for the fuselage stripes. Well, despite assurences the masks were "in the mail" I never received them even though he said he sent them twice. Who knows, maybe they will show up some day but I got tired of waiting and decided just to do it myself. Turned out it wasn't as difficult as I had expected. Now I can go on and resume the build and finish the model. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
