Morane Saulnier 1/32 scale emblem
« on: July 17, 2014, 07:05:58 AM »
I am beginning Special Hobby's Morane Saulnier Type N and sadly the kit is lacking the Factory emblem from the side of the cowl. If I remember correctly someone was making decals of the emblem a couple of years ago. Any one remember who made them? I know Tom's Model Works make brass ones, but I'd prefer a decal.

Thanks,

Sean

Sean.

I had a lead from a person who made the decals but it was back in 2011, I tried to contact him but his email address is no longer valid, I will keep trying to see if I can find him because his decals were very good.

Des,
I would appreciate that, though it doesn't sound promising. I could get the photo-etch, but then I'd have to paint the background color within the emblem and I'm not steady enough with a brush.

Don't need to be steady, just fill in the recesses, let dry and polish the paint off the high spots using fine abrasive and a light touch....

i was about to post how i did mine but bo beat me to it. thats all you gotta do. try to paint the blue background but if you get a bit of paint on the m/s then buff it with a super fine sanding stick or sanding pad like 3000 to 4000 grit and it shines the brass as it removes the odd splotch of paint. easy

With all the talent that is being displayed on the forum is there someone out there who can design and print the MS logo in 1:32 scale in a brass colour on clear decal paper. If anyone can do this please contact me so we can work out a deal.

Des,
 Do you know the size of the original? If so, I can shrink my one down, colour it to something similar to brass and have a go at printing.
Cheers,
Bob

Thanks Bob.  I estimate that the size of the logo is 5.25mm in diameter (in 1:32 scale). If someone has one of Tom's Modelworks PE logo maybe they could measure it for a comparison.

Hi Des,
 I tried and I failed to get the resolution required to print a clean logo.
We need someone to produce in etch brass  ;)

Cheers,
Bob

I can make the decals when I get home next week, if vB will share his vector art
