I'm repainting the GN heavyweights from the VNHRR website, and I can't seem to get the lettering to fit:

Is there any way I can fix this?

Would that be a Logo placement issue?

Hi,

I can't say for sure without looking at my source model, but usually I make the decals as small as possible. So in this case it's highly likely that I created one quad just large enough for the "Great" and another one for "Northern", with a gap in the middle.

You could work around this by matching the text on the repaint texture to where the texts are on the original. So fit the "Southern" into where "Great" is on the texture, and "Pacific" into "Northern".

Cheers

It's kind of fiddly but that is what I ended up doing on the LACKAWANA F7 I did becals nobody ever made a decal long enough for that.

Ok Michael, I'll try that.

Did you try some Micro Set?
