the model
The red and blue cheatline of 1,2 mm wide were made from Xtradecal striping decals cut to size. For the roundels, I used those from a Dutch Decal set. All other markings were home made. I gathered pictures of the real thing and squadron badges from internet. These were made to size with a picture editor on the computer. Next, they were printed on white decal sheet for Inktjet printers from the "Bare Metal Foil" brand. After printing, the ink was protected with some sprayed coats of Johnson Future/Pledge. I made an instruction sheet as requested by some IPMS modellers and printed some extra decals.
The decals were applied to the model and the final touches were adding tiny navigation lights, the antenna's and adding Tamiya SMOKE pain to the window decals.
