BBOwen 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Here are my first RC plane decals. The wing decals are before, during and after shots. There are a lot more to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bk2design 1 Posted January 25, 2008 Looks good! What scale is that plane? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted January 25, 2008 It is a Hanger 9 giant scale P-47 ( 85" wingspan ). I am working on the fuselage decals as we speak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Now the fuselage. Before and after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bk2design 1 Posted January 25, 2008 That can't be a cheap hobby. Decals are looking great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Terry Posted January 25, 2008 That is a big one. :well done: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted January 25, 2008 That can't be a cheap hobby. Decals are looking great! True, it is not a cheap hobby. Sometimes I wonder about my sanity :sign: . I bought a cutter just to make decals for my planes, Maybe I can get a few paying jobs to help pay for this addiction, uh I mean, hobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imarcnut 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Nice job on the decals!! Some days gambling is cheaper than R/C, I was thinking one day that there must be and easier way to cut paint mask......................TADAAAA!!!!! Now we have a cutter! D-oh!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted January 25, 2008 HaHa, paint mask is my next task. I have Ju-87 Stuka that is composite body and is painted. I don't want to put decals over paint. So am going to have to invest in some paint mask. Where is a good place to get that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mswestph 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Is that Monokote of vinyl? Looks great either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted January 28, 2008 It is vinyl, I haven't tried to tackle monokote yet. I think I will try it this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mswestph 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Please let me know how it goes. I was happy to see that someone else suffers from the same problem and also purchased a cutter for RC airplane purchases. I will receive the cutter tomorrow. I convinced myself that it will work on Monokote and the time-savings alone will pay for it in no time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Not mention, now you get to cut decals for eveybody at the field :clap: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slopchops 1 Posted February 2, 2008 I guess you know that the fuel used in most model airplanes will work it's way underneath the vinyl and start lifting. Gotta find a way to seal those edges. If it's electric, no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted February 2, 2008 Some people use clear nail polish, some use clear Lusterkote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R.P.Ritt 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Nice job on the decals. Is that a P-47 Thunderbolt Razorback? My hubby builds electric RC planes, and is currently working on a custom designed 50" span push-pull. He's been salivating over the fact that I've had to purchase the CP-2500 for business, 'cause it'd be a bit much for just a hobby right now. He can't wait to get his hands on the machine. I just ordered it yesterday and it won't go out until Monday. Hoping it won't take more than 5 days to get from Washington to Florida 'cause I wanna play with it next weekend! :dance: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBOwen 0 Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks, Yes it is a razorback. I also just got a giant P-51 and P-40 to add to the fleet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
