I drew up the BT-55 size decals and fin templates. These will be a very close upscale.
There were some corrections made. By the time I get to applying the decals, I'm sure there will be more edits.

Don't request the decals and fin templates yet!
As mentioned in previous builds, you can rarely use the first decal print. Color changes are likely when trying to match available spray paint.
EDIT: Changes have already been made -
I couldn't find a close Yellow-Orange spray paint. Rusto Tuscan Sun is close, but has to be ordered. The shipping price was more than the can of paint! Most vendors require you to buy a box of six spray cans.
The areas on the decals that are orange (the flipped "E" under the rocket logo) will end up being yellow. This will make it easier for anybody else wanting to build it. A simple yellow is easier to match.
I remember reading somewhere that Testor's Panther Pink (which is purple, not pink) and Testor's Boyd's yellow were good matches to original colors. They came in the small rattle cans. Not sure if those colors are still manufactured.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew,
DeleteThanks for the information. The best match purple I found is Ace Tropical Pink. The Testor's Boyd's Yellow is available, looks like it is #1214. When you add in the shipping, still too expensive for a single build.
