Decal Dilemas

Conclusion.

Pictures of a 1/48 Hasegawa Hawker Hurricane.

I have included these pictures of a finished model (the Spitfire isn’t finished yet), with a similar camouflage, to show what the finished product looks like. This model has been treated the same as the Spitfire and has received washes and weathering and a final matt coat. It is this final matt coat that brings everything together. Note that although the code letters had a similarly large area of decal film, as the codes on the Spitfire, it has become totally invisible. Not even the edge is discernible. One thing to take note of, however, is the markings on the tail fin. These were trimmed as the carrier film makes them over large for the fin. If they are not trimmed you will have difficulty in getting the overhanging areas of decal film to conform around the fin without leaving ridges.
