That's an awkward one isn't it? Lots of Micro Sol and a wet paintbrush might get it to settle. The probe tip is going to be a tricky one too - maybe drill and pin if possible?
 
This is just a personal choice. I should have used the Italeri decal in the first place. I think I will try to drill and wire Terry.



I let you know how it works out later.

The probe is on. Not the best but with just over 1mm of glue surface it's the best I can do. Painting the under carriage doors and hope to have it on it's legs tonight. Probe tip is a bit dark but it's, uuhhh, brand new compared to the photo.




Thanks for looking,

Geo
 
IT STANDS.Thanks all. I never thought this wee beastie would survive this far. Doors, touch-ups, a couple more antennae, the dreaded painting of the clear parts and I can finally put this sucker to bed.

Great stuff Geo, it's looking good.
Just shows the difference in decal quality too. Always puzzles me why some manufacturers provide cr@p decals - costs the same to make good ones as it does to make cr@p ones, once the art work is done.

They make you buy the kit, then the better decals, then they gain around whatever the good decals cost you, if you purchased from their decal company.

The downside is you might avoid those types of kits if they always give you crap decals.

It turned out great btw can't wait for the finished shots
