These decals look great! Thanks for your work, Mike!
Here's a comparison between the AUG decal and the original on a 618C cab. Defect on decal is an artifact of my camera.
Line weight on the black is a bit different but overall character is convincing.
The color difference is probably due in part to age and the darkening of the varnish that was applied over the decal 57 years ago. I think the brilliant gold of the new one is a good starting point.
I ordered a pr of custom 618 type cabs for 755As yesterday since I only have one original box. These will get the decal treatment. What I'd really like to know is how did they get that subtle silver hammertone lacquer finish! EPA probably outlawed that process...
