Hi Wayne.
Its good to hear youve sorted out your decal issue. I hate waiting for stuff to arrive,especially when you need it for a current build.
Decals over invasion stripes?
I may be able to help you as I have painted a few stripes myself recently,,LOL.
I would expect your going to have an issue with the stripes showing through the decal.On my P47 the area of the fusalage invasion stripes had a curve missing to accomodate the decal so I didnt have that problem.Next time Im going to paint the stripes.
I had this problem with my Dazzle Camo.
With so many stripes all over the place,leaving the area under the decal wasnt really an option so I had to deal with it when the decals went on.
Because the kit was so cheap,£3,I just bought another one and put another decal on top which did the trick. Good job I bought the other kit as when I went to fit the undercarriage I realised Id built it the wrong way round,,LOL.
Another way of doing it,as you suggested,is to mask and spray silver over the area of the stripes that the decal would cover.
Your going to need a Compass Cutter for this. The circles you can see on the Camel photo were done with one. I used paper for the mask.Cut the circular lines out and then wet the paper to make it stick to the Klear/Future, and then sprayed them on. All the black curves you see on the photo were done with one mask to ensure the circles run parallel to each other.
Hope this helps a little,and doesnt just confuse the issue for you.
All the best
