Thanks guys, while the oils are drying i was working on the upper wing decaling boy these decals are brittle and dont react real well to solvaset or microsol any input.

 

[woody]

Here is a pick of the upper wing decalsdont look so good.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Have you given them a coating of something like Microscale Liquid Decal Film Jerry, the film once thoroughly dry should help hold the decals together when being applied.

Yep, that's my solution too.
It's gotten so that I always test a decal off a sheet before trying it on a plane.

 

[Wayne Little]

sealing them is always a good safeguard....

 

[Airframes]

I agree. Even with brand new decals, I always give them a spray of clear varnish.

 

[Gnomey]

Looking good so far!

 

[woody]

Thanks guys for the input i haver never sealed before time to learn this trick.

 

[meatloaf109]

Nothing to it. Rather than add a layer to the decals, just try a decal that might be unnecessary, and see if it shatters or otherwise acts in an undesireable way. If it does, then chastise the said decal in an approperate manner.

Thanks guys, i painted the wheels and tires i think the tire color is close maybe to dark.

 

[Wayne Little]

Neat!
