Fedex 757 Custom 1:400

Donity · 08-10-2021, 01:50 PM

My second custom gemini jet. I have not yet put the fedex logo on the tail, but it is quite the challenge with white-backed decal paper, as I have to find the perfect shade of purple.

Started as an omni air 757,

And here is the final result.

Was wondering if I should spray with a gloss clear coat to set in the decals and to make the lines invisible... would that work?

Looks pretty good!
If I were you, and I wasn't short on decal paper or printer ink, I'd probably take off the rego and try again.
Just a suggestion IMO, it's a shame to have a nice custom with a wonky rego number which will kind of ruin the realism of it, it would be good practice to re-attempt it too.

Oh! I just noticed that. Can't believe I didn't see it before. I think I have a duplicate (i print two just in case) so I'll try to fix it real quick.

Also, for my next custom (which won't be for a long time), I'm going to try using clear decal paper instead of white. It might look better, because you might notice that the decals are slightly yellowed.
