spitfire in blue!

[bullittrob]

"well heres another" this one should have a non armour windscreen plus a differnt shape tail,.but to be honest i cant be botherd,.ive been thinking of markings for a few smashed ones ive got in the shed.,anyway now the geeky bit,:p.its based on a mkXI from mount farm near oxford,.the ussaf used these as they were super fast,.unarmed.,with low service times,.in time i might alter the windscreen like i did with K5054,.,.the colour i used is car paint.,hycote,.ford carribean blue in case you fancy doing one your selfs!..i was gonna fly this tonite,.but as soon a pluged a lipo in the whole thing went bang,.with lots of smoke,.the ripmax esc blew,the motor cooked,:mad:..anyway i had another esc but i just couldnt get it to work,.:confused:you know how it is when its getting dark,.your rushing because the wind is low,,i reckon i wired it wrong.,must have crossed a wire without looking,anyway the spare i had came with another plane ive had but never flew,.n,.it was a dudd as well,.,.so looks like it will be thursday now before i test it,.im gonna weather it a bit plus add a petes pilot...;)

As always looking good mate.....I thought you missed the "roundle part" must of mit I was larfing when I wrote it LOL.......

[bullittrob]

i found it funny as well,.:D.,,.its hard comming up with differnt markings to make em stand out from each other,,plus because i tend to get my scale head on when im doing them it makes it harder because our parkzone spits can only be anything up to a Vc,.,.then as you know the spit started to look a little diferent,..,id love a foam me109E in battle of brittian markings,.also i might one of these spitfires , if i can get the decals sorted,..,:rolleyes:

Ah...little trick (from my 1 48th scale stuff) You can get ink get and laser decale sheet paper from model shops such as antics.....about £4 for an A4.

You can print from your pc directly on to this....then spray with varnish (to make water tight and wash out free ) and place on your kite!:D

It's possible to get white or clear also forgot to say!:D

Have attached a word doc with a photo (due to file size) of a "custom job" i did with some of the said paper!:cool:

that looks good,.i dont have a printer,.nor any softwear to do anything like that.,i guess il have ti buy what ever im going to need than?, what softwear would you recomend?????printer ect ect,.

[ralphp]

No special soft ware! all you do is use either scanned/copied a photo or drawing and scan in to a document.....and print.

I have used photos, clip art, free hand drawings and scanned, printed ident numbers from excel and word and scratched them up....and all pinted ok.

I must admit that for a PZ you could do this with a cheapy ASDA £30 printer......for more photo quality you need to get a photo grade printer (but thats only for actual photos that you can shrink down!) you could even put your own photo on the pilot, but thats another story!
