Ok at this point stripes appears too much isn't it ?.
So you are thinking to paint a coat of fabric color airbrushed uppon the decals tofade the structure ? I imagined you would fade them under the decals...
Hi Xan,
Yes the 'ghost' roundels on the wing undersides will be airbrushed.
The sequence is to seal the decals with a clear coat.
Then mist airbrush white over them to blend them back.
Then re-seal as before.
Hopefully that will protect the decals and paint for masking and airbrushing the roundels, which will be faded to represent how they'd be seen from the undersides.
Another sealing coat then apply the CDL decals over it all,
Mike
