On a black model like the X-15 you'd see a light grey where the white areas are. <br />When a white decals is printed and transferred onto the model you also see a thin white outline around the sides of the decal.<br />I've experimented with white decals and they aren't perfect. Any pluses are outweighed by the minuses.Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-55912165253451753262017-05-17T09:30:51.653-04:002017-05-17T09:30:51.653-04:00Hi Chris, I'm always staying tuned in on what ...Hi Chris, I'm always staying tuned in on what you have in the pipe line.<br />I was thinking about the decal problem you were talking about from Quest ( the Cost). Couldn't you make up your own decals by printing them out on white decal paper and do a black outline around the white letters and other drawn. Just a Thought.<br />This and the G-16 would be great kits. Keep thinking about them.The Molehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736041473821693541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-79412325331933260802017-05-17T00:04:30.246-04:002017-05-17T00:04:30.246-04:00Hi Frank,
