Aaaarhg! I'm an idiot!
The model has suffered a, shall we say, unintentional livery change. I got one of the decals on perfectly, absolutely completely fused with the paintwork and plastic, but half an inch from where it should be No way to fix this short of finding replacement decals and stripping the kit down to bare plastic for repainting, and that's just not going to happen in a week. I have no choice but to stick with the new design, and see if I can make it look good

Re: Rob's KLM Dakota
I think I've gotten away with it. Once I've got this plane completed and have the pictures up, I wonder how long it will take for someone to spot the bug..rob_van_riel wrote:I have no choice but to stick with the new design, and see if I can make it look good

Thanks, but for honesty's sake I should point out that it's not that good once you know where the problems are hiding (and I know, since I put them there myself )splash wrote:Wow

Great work Rob. I have "problems" hidden - or not so in some cases - on a few of mine as well, but that is a very nice looking Dak.

It's very good. And the displaced decal doesn't look out of place at all.
