I have been making some small headway on my X-wing. I painted up the pilot (Luke himself) and then I applied the decals to his helmet and to the control panel in the cockpit. I hadn’t applied decals since I was a teenager. For my first decal, my 13 year old self resurfaced and I completely botched the job. I didn’t trim the decal and it wouldn’t stick. There is supposed to be a red strip on Luke’s helmet with a yellow patch at the front. It’s now in the garbage. I did a bit better job on the rest, but it’s a steep learning curve.
The next step is to assemble the fuselage and do some priming.
As an aside, I have been getting some grief from my wife over my pronunciation of decal. I pronounce it with a long e sound (deecal) while my wife pronounces it with a short e sound and hardly any a (decl). She says I sound American and I say I don’t care. How do you guys say it?
