I am thinking it is a "Slightly" easier Method than Masking and painting! Either way you are Insane...a good insane though

I like that idea of using decal strips Mike, I look forward to seeing the results.

I love those BE2c wings!

How it is really a fantastic work!!! excellent!
Anyway I am very interested in your black decals idea...+ linen decal
Exiting !

Xan

Hi Xan,
I realized today that I'd actually applied the decals for testing pre-shading to the top surface of the upper wing, instead of the underside

So now I can fully understand your earlier comment

As such I stripped it all off using cellotape and applied the decals to the underside of the upper wing and ailerons (original post has updated photograph)

Do you use the Xtradecal stripes straight off the sheet, or do you microcoat or do something to them first? I ask as my experience with them has been less than satisfactory, breaking and crumbling as you apply. Maybe just the batches I have tried.

Hi Sandy,
Yes, that's about it.
Few seconds in warm water.
No surface preparation, apart from a smooth finish.
I use a brush to slide them of their backing sheet and position them.
Then press out residual water and apply 'MicroSol'.
They do slide around easily as there doesn't seem much adhesive on them.
But once fixed down, no problem,

Hi all,
I've had work done to my home, so haven't been able to model much the last week or so.
However, I'm back onto the Scout now and continuing the underside decals for pre-shading.
The upper wing, ailerons and tailplane/elevator are done.
Once I receive more 'Xtradecal' stripes, I can complete the lower wings and fuselage,

Lots of it there. You put in a lot of work and it looks like a very interesting result. Can't wait to finish the wings. Beautiful work.

Hi all,
While I wait for more decals I thought I'd hit the two figures.
Both are from 'Copper State Models' to accompany their Bristol Scout,

Wow! Jaw dropped... fantastic figures!

Fantastic work overall and it'll be very interesting to see how decal project turns out.

Lovely work on the wings Mike. Your figures are excellent as always.

Interesting idea with the decals for the internal structure seen on undersides. Yet, I think I will stay at the permanent pen - contrary to what other experience I have no problems with possible bleeding the ink - acrylic paints cause me no issues.
Anyway, I am looking forward to see your results! up till now - a pleasure to follow, as usual

Catching up on your build this morning, Mike and I have to say the work you've done on the framework lines looks great. A nice option to consider when tackling the job of showing the internal structure through CDL.
Cheers,
Gary
