Eighth Air Force Pilot Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm tinkering with my WNW Snipe (Early) and I'm already think about that Albatros and the D.V.II..I noticed a link here on the forum for Uschi van der Rosten. So, curiousity being what it is, I checked it out and lo an behold I found wood grain decals used on the Albatros..So has anyone ever used these things? And if so, can you lend me some insight into them? I've already planned on using oils and acrylics to get the grain effect, but I'm always willing to try something new...and maybe slightly easier.

Eighth Air Force Pilot Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks for the move. I didn't realize I posted in the wrong place...it was a long day at work today! James, did you need to use solveset to get these to lay better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted March 11, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think I used Microset/Microsol...whichever is the least violent of the two. They didn't need anything apart from an initial application, and the decals conform well to the curves of the gunner cupola ring. I added area that in 4 parts. I think the whole lot took a couple of hours to decal. You have to lay down a base colour, and I post shaded the paint before adding the decals.

Eighth Air Force Pilot Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ok, I was looking that over again and I thought you might have post shaded. I really like how that turned out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillScarlet Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Glad I caught this, as I'm about to use these decals on the interior of my Snipe. Didn't know you had to prepaint a base color. Thanks. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
