Thread: Hanriot HD.1 Giorgio Michetti

    Default Hanriot HD.1 Giorgio Michetti

    Here's the Hanriot HD1 flown by Giorgio Michetti.







    It was quite a straightforward repaint using Vallejo Light Yellow. Thanks Todd (Pseudotheist) for sharing this discovery on your Hanriot repaint post, it really is a great match. The decals are home made on clear paper applied over the top of some Shed Decals white circles.

    A very attractive model Ian.
    I have also taken to using Shed white decals under anything with a light colour. It stops the muddy image effect that you can get through the lighter colours. I just wish that they did a plain white sheet, so that you could cut your own background shapes for those awkward motifs or wing cammo decals.

    I have plenty of old offcuts of white decal paper if you want some? They do come in handy.

    Thanks for the kind offer Ian.
    I actually have sheets of white Decal from Crafty Computers. Whilst their ordinary decal paper is fine, the white always leaves a visible edge, even after several treatments of Micro sol.
    With Shed, the white, as you know can have another layer applied over it and still blend in because it is so fine.
    That is why I would like some sheets of Shed.

    I know exactly what you mean Rob, those white edges can be really annoying. To get around the problem I try to have the white decal fractionally smaller than the clear one so the clear decal covers the edges. This works well if the decal over the top has a strong outline. I need to try more with these Shed Decals, I only got these circles recently and I am impressed. They should open up all sorts of home made decals.
