i was wondering if anyone can help me with the various colour scheme’s that G-HEAC was painted in in it’s time in the uk(and in hong kong if possible)
as i have this silly idea about possibly building it in all it’s paint schemes from raaf service on:eek:

You might be able to use this sheet for the markings that G-HAEC wore when it arrived in the uk in 1985. You will just need to replace the individual code letter for an H.

This sheet will give you the Memphis Belle scheme.

You can get blank decal paper for inkjet printers to make your own decals but you need to spray the finished decals with a couple of thin coats of varnish from a car spray can after printing to stop them running. If you have a laser printer I think you can get paper which doesn’t need a varnish coat.
The hard bit is producing the artwork sizing it to fit the model and getting the right colour hues when you print them out. Working out shapes to get the right fit for decals to go round curves is one of the real nightmares. I have had a little dabble on a few occassions but ran out of image manipulation skills

damn i’m going to have to get a bulk order on 1/72 tamiya mustang’s:eek:
and then work out how to make my own decals.
this could take awhile(especially as i’m doing it in it’s final scheme in 1/48th first):D
