I
would like to share with fellow modelers, this "tip" that I have been
using for years.
You can reproduce quite easily the hand written messages that are nowadays more
and more evident in aircraft ordnance using either carbon paper (gray or black
colored) or "Tipp-Ex"® (white) - the striped-kind used for actually
re-type the error and then insert the correct letter, and that was sold on small
envelopes, remember? For this, you should use a sharp object (hard
pencil will do) and the photocopied reproduction of the message.
Actually, this kind of "Tipp-Ex"® is even good for bigger
inscriptions in a/c frames, namely late WWII white hand written inscriptions
(numbers) often seen on Me-109s' and others, "prisoner" a/c, wreckage
dioramas, armament block description both in aircraft or vehicles, etc.
After writing the desired message, number, whatever, just use your favorite
brand of varnish and..."voila"!...
