Thanks guys! I started the decals last night. So far the decals are a combination of the ones I originally designed for the kit (stripes, etc) and the digital silk versions supplied with the kit. The stripes are tad pale but I don’t mind. My plan is to do the decals in phases/layers. What you see now is layer 1…the next layer is the paneling (although in retrospect I should have done the paneling first) and then layer 3 will be all the little “stencil” data and whatever else. This is a ”big” ship so it’s gotta have a ton of auxiliary markings and what not…I dug out a pile of various numbers, stencils, symbols etc that will give nice look.

Today when I get home I'll have to add apply another coat of Micro Sol to get some of those wrinkles out on the wrapped areas...

The decals really set the ships up right!

Definitely liking the markings

All done!! I’ll tell ya, it’s a tremendous pain in the ass to get the lighting to show up nicely while maintaining image exposure balance…I edited the final photo shoot down to about 40 with just a few similar angles.

Here's the full gallery link:

Absolutely beautiful builds Nich, nice clean finish

The blue one's Pan American variant made me think of 'The Hitch Hikers Guide'

Most impressive!
I absolutely love, how much your custom paneling recals add to the final look of this twin masterpiece.
