The decal paper I had was for inkjet printers.
Mine were letters, so I just used word.
Scan in something.
I have also used paint.

I have printed onto decal paper -you can get two types, P&S Hobbies in Scarborough used to sell it.
I have found that a coat of varnish is required once the design has been printed as otherwise it is very fragile.
You have to cut around your decal carefully.
I printed designs for my railway wagons and gun carriers.

While the undercoat is drying I have been investigating the Short 184 - also based at Hornsea and Bessoneau hangars, two of which were used for storage of aircraft. Then of course a beaching trolley or two will be required.
I have also now acquired a Sopwith Schneider in 1/48 from Special Hobby, this being the basis for the Baby. This hopefully means that I will get it right eventually!

I generally wash resin parts with lukewarm soapy water and then rinse well. It can be a trail with some of the smaller bits.

I suppose that I have taken too many short cuts and this may have to be consigned to the back of the Bessoneau hangar - of which there were two at Hornsea.
Rear floats and some undercoat.

I think my wings are a bit too far forward but its too late now, maybe if I build another it will improve. Rudder and tail plane constructed and added.
Floats added, rear float to still add.
Propeller from the spares box.

Wait until the wing warping starts, it usually starts as the temperature rises.

It was certainly an ungainly machine - something a bit different, nice to see.
