Klingon Bird of Prey Supplemental set (wings, engine, and expanded markings)

from $10.00

The 1:350 Klingon Bird of Prey is one of my favorite models to build. I appreciate that it allows for a variety of markings, and wing positions. It's designed to be lit, but not everyone wants to bother with lights, so these decals are a good substitute for hand painting to make it come to life. Adding the 1:1000 option was definitely needed as well.

I wanted to incorporate different symbols and hull markings. One of the coolest things about this ship in canon is that you really can make a fleet of them, while each being unique to the House that it serves, or it's purpose. I could never paint the wings in a way that really satisfied me, so making those was the whole inspiration for this set.

I recommend using a razor to cut into the grooves of the wing decals after application, and then applying a liberal amount of decal-set, so the film can wrap into the gutters in the model texture. The green on the art is mostly transparent when applied to the model, so it should blend nicely to the color of green that you decided to go with for your hull.

The engine decals can work for a lit or unlit model. I have supplied an interior decal for the transparent piece for lit models. If you don't plan on lighting your models, you will want to paint the transparent engine piece. I recommend a lighter color for better visibility.
