Model Railroading > Decals for pilot?Date: 06/27/20 18:42 Decals for pilot? Author: KremeStation I've been looking for sliver metal bands for pilot on GS for ho, but I just can't seem to find any. help?
Date: 06/27/20 21:47 Re: Decals for pilot? Author: MojaveBill I painted those lines by hand years ago on my Max Grey HO GS-4 and did a pretty fair job!
These days I couldn't do that on the full-size 4449! Bill Deaver Tehachapi, CA Date: 06/27/20 22:47 Re: Decals for pilot? Author: KremeStation how did you paint them?
Date: 06/28/20 07:47 Re: Decals for pilot? Author: Jimmies Paint the colour onto plain decal film, seal with clear laquer, and cut the strips with a fresh xacto knife. Apply as decals to your GS.
Show us the photos when you're done. Jim Date: 06/28/20 08:11 Re: Decals for pilot? Author: wabash2800 You could also make them on your computer and print them on decal film (available from Micromark and other suppliers) . I know it sounds like overkill, but some of us don't have that steady of a hand.

Elizabeth Date: 06/28/20 10:41 Re: Decals for pilot? Author: Jimmies Betsy is sort of right...that Microscale set (91121) is currently listed as Out of Stock.
