Heres another model that was talked about a long time ago,
and I have finally gotten around to completing!

These Bluenosers are always great looking!
And this is the second aircraft of Capt. Whisner that I have created.
(Princess Elizabeth P-51B is the other)

great rich!

I've noticed some variations in the blue nose colour when printing.
Blue is a tricky print colour to nail down.
I printed my test page and found I got a slightly more accurate blue with my "vivid" colour setting.

Obviously not everyone has the same printer, or the same paper, or the same inks, etc
so I can never guaranty the colour of everybody's print...
but
with all digital models its a good idea to do one test print first,
and check to make sure you are happy with the printout
...if not, make any necessary setting changes...
before you print out the entire model.

I allway do a test print! have learned the hard way to test colors, blue is the hardest to get right I think. The blue on Moonbeam came out looking VERY close to what I think it needs to be...a friend has a die-cast model of Moonbeam and is matches it very well (if that is right!) and my printer has more trouble with the grey than blue. Like Pin Up Girl i am enlarging it to 1/22 (150%)...old hand and eyes!.....Rich
