I've found that Japanese decals respond better to heat. Carl Edited August 17, 2022 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think that’s the only national insignia I would attempt to paint. Round stencil, one color. But I’m sure I’d figure out how to screw it up. 🤡 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landlubber Mike Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I agree with Scott - very easy to cut your own round stencil and paint it. I used stencils to do the US insignia on my F3F builds, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Very nice Zero by the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No WIP for this one, though I'll be sure to post some photos once it's completed. Our local contest is September 18th, and I'm trying to get the Zero, the XB-70, and the Tomcat done in time for it. Maybe I should just ship the kits to John B... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys for your kind comments... This is a conversion or is in the process, from a Kenworth W 900 series to what has been called an Alaskan Hauler, in my case I am taking some 'artistic license' and building it as a heavy haul unit. Alaskan Hauler Kenworths were akin to 'Canadian Kenworths' and were built here in B.C. They were all steel, with no fiberglass hoods, mostly used for logging and heavy haul. Used heavily here in B.C. and the Yukon, the photo here is my inspiration of sorts. These trucks had no frills, heavy springs, or rubber block rear suspensions, crummy seats, but were work horses of the highest caliber. Used to see them all over, but sadly most are gone..... I just love old heavy iron..... guess that's why my back kills me and my knees are shot eh? LOL Thanks again for the kind words fellas.... and thank you Martin for posting... 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Working on this little Tamiya M3 Stuart at the moment. Seen here. still in gloss coat, with decals applied. The decals are Cuban national markings from Star Decals. They went on ok. The one decal on the Side looks silvered, but is not. The decals on my AMX 13 looked the same before the flat coat and turned out fine. Still have to put the tools and M1919 on and finish painting the tracks. Then spray it with flat. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Paul Nice work on the Stuart and in markings I would have never thought of. Neat clean work and all should be fine with the decals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
