enfieldspares Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) If I were a woodpigeon I'd be proud to have been tricked by such fine decoys! They look seriously good. And if Pimlico Pink wasn't named with woodpigeons in mind it ought to have been. I re did some of mine and used some old Humbrol enamel potlets I'd left over from Airfix model making in the 1970s. But when I did I also often wondered if UV reflective white paint would, if used on the neck area give super pulling power? Has anyone ever tried such paint?
