Thanks mate. It will get finished some time but I think will go straight in the bin.Saxon wrote:Looking good even if you won't finish on time
The decals are doing my nut in. The PM decals are horrible so I binned them & with much trepidation decided to use the Micro Scale sheet which includes a nice NASA scheme. I have used this sheet before but the decals disintegrate on contact with water.
So I coated them with Klear, left that to dry overnight and cut them out as close to the decal as I dared. The first two declas I put on went on great. There is hope yet I thought:
But alas the blue fuselage stripe broke up badly:
I did what I could to save it but will have to patch it up later. I did make a scan of the decals so perhaps I could print some off another time. (don't have any decal paper at the mo!)
For the otherside I cut the decal into 3 smaller pieces before wetting them & this seems to have worked better. Although they are still fragile & far too short. Either PM (Hasegawa) have gotten their measurements very wrong or these decals have shrunk.
I will press on as time permits just for the experiance. Then this one will be fed to the shredder.
