I think so. Even with 2 layers of foil it didn’t want to hold a position. I almost had to pinch the folds to hold it in position. I dont know if theres differences in foil thicknesses but the foil I used was nice and thin.
-
I have to try this at some point so here goes nothing. so far so good... success!... maybe, so long as the decal does not chip when I role it.

Thanks guys. But not done yet. I probably have one more week left. Oh I will take 100 photos but all I have is my stupid iphone se camera and it sucks ☹️

work continues today with airbrushing sky grey for the last time... im a little sad. Replacing the broken radar. Which is driving me NUTS! its crooked and I cant straighten it! Ugh! and finally installing the life rings onto the launches

Work continues today. The planes dollys are folded and soon to be painted...grey? next i installed the planes cockpits ya know what... in the spirit of getting this done and since the other side of the ship wont be veiwable I think I might just do 1 arado. anyhoo the paint is ready to go. I hope model air airbrushes ok. I started to bounce around. I cut out and folded the stairways. And some life rings to possibly go ontop of the launches. thats about it for today. Oh and my new favorite tool. These toe nail clippers are wonderfull! untill tomorrow...

Hey guys, I basically did all I can do on the Arados before painting ( i need paint) Theres this huge hobby store 30 min away from me(hobby emporium) that im going to visit. It does not open till noon. That means I won’t be airbrushing today. Heres what I did so far. Assembled the 2 cockpits and canopies. assembled what plastics I could. But then I changed my mind. Instead of having both planes with wings folded I’m going to have one with wings out. I have already cut the wings so I had to glue them back together on one of the planes. thats it for now. Oh I know what I can do while I wait for the store to open. Paint and assemble the new radar to replace the one that broke 4 months ago. I guess i will be airbrushing today 😀

Well hes doing somthing here with the decals and white glue. Is he just glueing them to the foil without watersliding?with the backing and all? Is he then cutting them out and glueing the 2 sides together? Wouldnt that be very thick and out of scale? I have so many questions. I have to figure this out. Just look at that result! Looks amazing!

Thank you! Also Flory does somthing with aluminum foil for the flags they look amazing. If I can figure out what hes doing I will Attempt it. Theres also fabric flags.

Thanks Popeye! Hey guys I have a question. Im starting to think about decals. For the arados, flags etc. I just heard of dry transfer. I have 2 sets of decals. MK1 decals and Trumpeter decals. I have no idea if they are dry transfer decals or waterslide decals. Is there a way to tell what I have?

I started on the two planes today. I’m not sure yet but I might display both planes with wings folded instead of just one. Anywho, I figured I would start by cutting everything out. next I had to remove the cockpit area to make room for the new cockpit. with that done I started on the first planes wings. Mark it, cut it and sand it.

Thank you I hope to be working on the missouri by the spring. I agree with OC, you should start a build log!!
