White Outline Numbers Failed!

Well, my attempt to paint out the center of the white numbers on the Tigers didn't work out. I ended up leaving the centers solid.

There are a number of decal manufacturers out there that make white outline numbers, but none of them currently produce an "S" in white outline that I need for my Tigers. For now they will have to remain solid while I noodle out what to do.

Tim, they call him...

Kursk Painting Issues

Das Reich's Tiger company (8th) carried specific markings at Kursk. The normal turret numbers of 833 became S33 (in this case). The problem is how to get white outlined letter/number decals. No one makes them. It takes a special printer to print white so I can't do them myself. I even tried some custom decal makers, but the cost is too much. I decided to try something. I purchased some white letters/numbers and am going to apply them to the turret and see if I can paint out the center. Yes... lots of magnification (lots and lots). If it works tomorrow I should have pictures... or maybe the next day.

Faster, faster, must paint faster
