will be releasing a new
range of high-quality, limited-edition decals under the brand name
of PYN-Up Decals. The decals will feature near-photographic quality
continuous tone nose art markings with standard screen-printed
markings for the other markings.
I received a
preview copy of some of the subjects. The detail and graduation of
the tones, especially the flesh tones, is very impressive indeed.
The image below is the result of a "test drive" of one of the
decals. The subject is from the forthcoming PYN48007 B-29 "Lucky
Lady" sheet.
The decal was
applied to a piece of white styrene, to substitute for the white
backing decal that was not available with this pre-release sample.
The decal responded perfectly to Micro Set and Micro Sol. The film
is very thin and the flesh tones and graduation between shades are,
as can be seen above, very impressive.
Please note that
these decals will be of extremely limited availability. Only 300 of
each will be printed.
Examples from some
of the sheets can be seen on the sampler sheet below.
The initial line-up
will include the following subjects:
