Title: Candy Striped WNW Pup and Pheon decals.
Post by: drdave on December 03, 2012, 06:12:58 AM

Using the Pheon trainers and pets set.

These decals are exceptional. The fuselage fit was superb. Only took half an hour and snuggled down with microset. The stripes show through the code and roundel, but I had a spare 1/48 35 inch pair from xtradecal that fitted over perfectly.

I couldn't do the wing edges with decals. I used a blue sharpie marker pen and it took 5 mins tops.

My word, that is one very colourful Pup Dave, it looks superb and the decal application is excellent, this is going to be a very striking eye catching model when completed, well done.

I totally agree, Dave.  Brilliant work and a tip of the hat to Rowan.
Cheers,

Dave,
   This is very nice, love those "off-beat" schemes and Rowan's Decals always make the choice even better.
Cheers,
Lance

Cheers all.

This is a trainer/pet from the central Flying School around armistice time. There are 3 photos of it available, in Cross & Cockade.

The decals have been tremendous. The wheel spirals I fouled up but Rowan is kindly adding another pair for me.

I couldn't do the blue wing edge decals, too fiddly. I was really pleased with the solution- A Blue sharpie marker carefully along the edge. Job done in 5 mins.

I am using Gold Zack white elastic thread to mimic the RAF wires- got the idea off Mick Capell's RE8 in SAM.

Very sweet Pup, DrDave!  You're getting quite a collection.  I particularly love your technique for doing the colorful metal cowls.  Looks really deep and metallic.  Welll done!

Regards,

Bob

Does Gold Zack have a flat profile?

Hello Dr. Dave:

Gotta agree with you, I sure love those colorful pups, and yours looks great.  Not to steal your thread but; here's mine from last year.

Like you say, the decals fit like a glove.  Looking forward to seeing yours.
