Re: CF DECAL questions
You talking about Studio 27 carbon fibre? If so, S is small, M is meduim and L is large (surprise
 ) For 1/24th, small or meduim would be your best bets. Large is only really for big scales like 1/12th.How do you apply it to complex curves? Ray has already answered that question. Plenty of other good stuff in the Tutorial Depository and FAQ too. P.S. Thread moved to the main modelling forum. |

Rememember to coat it with very very light layers of some clearcoat. I've heard that Metalizer Sealer works well. I've also heard things about urethane clears and auto clears over decals, but that's highly expermental.

Re: CF DECAL questions
Good pont Pat. I've used clear lacquer over carbon fibre decals sucessfully. But since all decals and paints are different, it would be wise to test first. Two part urethane should be safe for decals since it isn't as 'hot' as auto lacquer, much more dangerous to you though.

Re: CF DECAL questions
Studio 27
S = 1/24 1/43 (might be a bit big for 1/43) M = 1/20 L = 1/12
