| sorry I missed these comments fellers - I thank you for the encouragement. Building these up squarely is half the fun, the other half is getting a good smooth finish and livery on them. I need to get back on the P-26 |

| It's something I've been wanting to try for a while - Evan Designs makes led light kits for planes, trains, cars, boats and everything in between. |

| you don't have to participate in any of that social media stuff they do - just upload and download your pictures, resize, edit, crop - whatever you usually do. And it's free and private unless you want to share them. I use Imgur for all of this stuff ever since photobucket went to payware |

| Thanks heywood, do you use that Imgur site? I don’t know if I want to get into a social site to edite pictures. What do you think? Brian. |

| What I have learned is that decals are best applied over gloss paint, so if the aircraft is painted in matte finish -like a camouflage scheme - I give the model a gloss clear coat, let it dry for a day, then apply the decals, then return with a matte or semi-gloss top coat. Applying most water transfer decals over a matte finish can lead to problems where the decals ‘silver’ or lack proper adhesion to your model. Even with these dry transfer style decals from Callie I wouldn’t try to use them on a matte or rough surface. |

| Very unique heywood, you use a gloss coat and works out ok, on the decals? I’ve tried satin as a final coat and it tends to fog the decals on parts of clear decals.so I put the decals on last. |

| I appreciate you very much for saying that. Thank you! |
| heywooood, Comment for image # 44742 | 10 Feb 25 23:11 |
| it was a fun build - the 3D printed motors and the extra effort on the LG seem to make a huge difference, along with Callies' artwork. I've always loved this airplane. Thanks, Bob - I appreciate your kind appraisal.

| This looks just like a real "Dac" sitting on the tarmac! Wonderful job! |
