Good recovery on the painting
Old decals are a constant nightmare to me , i don't know if this helps but i use a microscale product called micro Liquid decal film it is the best for coating and restoring old decals prior to use your local hobby shop or favorite mail order place should have some, it has saved me on many occaisions
Best of luck !

Re: Tri-Pacer
Despite the difficulties you've had, that's a really smart looking build!

Re: Tri-Pacer
Thanks, Norman. I'll pick some up next time in the city. Not sure it will help on these decals, though. The carrier film is as thick and tough as a freezer bag.

Re: Tri-Pacer
There's no way I'm going to solve the wing serial decal issue until I get to the city for decal paper or chemical. That's 2.5 driving hours away and after Christmas.
So I'm going to put my as far as possible completed Tri-Pacer in the gallery, after I photograph it for that purpose. If there is objection, these can be removed and I can be spanked after.

She looks lovely 59North ...you must let us have your name....just great
Thank you for the warts and all build log, i have enjoyed it immensely, it has brought back so many memories of the one i built with my Dad all those years ago
Mine is in storage as we are waiting on the house we bought becoming vacant , i will build it in 2017 though being an amateur photographer and member of the Australian antique aircraft association i have many pics of those still flying here so will most likely model one of those looking for the serials may be a hassle but we will see
Thanks once again have a merry and safe xmas

Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

I hope you do build it, and in a thread on UAMF. I'm looking forward to that.Nikon Boy wrote:Mine is in storage as we are waiting on the house we bought becoming vacant , i will build it in 2017
Thanks to all for the kind words.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
