I'm still in the process of painting the wheels and tail. Here are a few fuselage shots though:

I had already fallen in love with the color-scheme. Now I love these colors even more!

so you know how to do this. Well, I have a question!

Where do you get the decals from???

Nasir · Post by **Nasir** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 5:22 am

I tried to have them custom made by a local decal maker. Unfortunately, they were just not to my quality (nor detail) standards. These decals that you see were made from scratch by myself and color laser printed on a clear decal sheet.

Below you can see one of the many proofs I printed to ensure they met expectations.

It's quite easy when you have the right tools. I use Macromedia Flash to do all my artwork. I had created this piece a long time ago:

When it came down to decal creation, all I had to do was pick off the colors from Flash and print them onto a decal sheet.

Model Complete! Here are a couple of shots:

Of course the clouds are fake...

Hope you enjoy watching these pictures as much as I enjoyed creating the model.

very nice,

Will you work on boggies also?

Looking on the sky color, i remember very well that Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 was released with same sky color, later MS revised the sky color as actual sky color for FS2k version

Actually this is not the sky color, but just a white sheet of styrene that showed up blue outdoors in the shade

BTW, what's a boggy?

Amazing job, now why not build a diorama of a section of KHI to go with it? Would look awesome sitting a real - life airport model.
