The Prismacolor markers OldTroll mentioned are available in a whole bunch of different shades of gray, including one so light you can hardly see it on white paper. These are great for coloring edges. I have about 4 different shades now, with 40% and 60% being the most used. Watercolor pencils also work well.
In the US, I get the Prismacolor markers at Michaels, which seems to have a one-item 50% off coupon in my junk mail just about every week. That tends to help with the cost of these things a little. Roger |

Ron,
Thanks for the explanation concerning the laser parts. I had wondered about what one did when you needed to put that color facing on a former. I now see there is a bit of a downside to the laser formers. The fit on my Orlik dump truck has been very good. The color registration, however, has been a disappointment with parts such as the body panels being slightly off color from one another if they were found on different pages. You have remarked that the printing on your Marchetti has been very good. How has the fit been? Phil |

Looking darn good! Gorrila fingers and all
How the heck do you keep the prismacolor marker from bleeding all over? I have the worst luck with those. Maybe I just got a couple overly wet ones.... Chris |

Also, I've built two Orlik kits, the P47 (Razorback) and the Kingfisher. The color match between sheets was simply awful on the P47 and poor on the Kingfisher. The fit on both was also horrible and took a lot of fudging to get anything to work. I am hoping that the Sm. 79 will be an improvement... certainly the printing for it is beautiful. Somewhere down the road I will want to build it myself. Carl |
