JohnB Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm not satisfied with the kit national markings or the Techmod markings. I ordered a Microscale sheet so we'll see how those look. I would REALLY prefer to use masks but haven't found any on line for the TBM/TBF. So for now decaling will have to wait. I'll finish the torpedo and a few other things to fill in the time gap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Impatience got the best of me on the decals. I did another search through my decal stash and was able to come up with some satisfactory Microscale national markings. Decaling has begun!
