Last night, I spent the evening applying decals to the Lunar Patrol gliders. The decals are all home-print, consisting of left-overs from the MPC sheet as well as a few custom number and stripe details.
I didn't get the 'LPC-B' designation detail applied to one of the gliders. Well, actually, I did, but had to pull it off and discard the decal.
Somehow, while applying the decal, one corner got slightly curled under. When I pulled the decal up to fix it, the other end curled over as well and became hopelessly stuck. By the time I got the decal straightened out using some fine tipped tweezers, it was toast. There was an unsightly crack in the decal, and part of the image was missing.
Trash.....
So, I have to add a replacement image to another blank decal sheet that will be sharing space with other upcoming rocket build markings.
Another small setback in getting the Lunar Patrol completed.
Live n 'learn...
