**** DONE: GB-46 1:48 Ju 52 - WW2 Eastern Front / Twin Engine A/C, Transports and Gliders

So the decals sat into the corrugations? Looks great.

Andy, the decals are pretty good, though once in place they will not move at all !
On the left side of the fuselage the decal has a circular cut out to go over a window and its slightly out of place because of that.
I hit the with decal softener and they snuggled down nicely.
A few spots where the decal film bridged the gaps between corrugations were carefully slit with a scalpel point and microsol reapplied which seems to have sorted the worst.

On the lower wing the KLQ decal would of covered the landing light if placed correctly so its also a little out of place so the clear part of the decal film was over the aperture in the wing surface for the light.

No, the corrugations rose up and grabbed the decals.
Yeah, I know - it's on, and I'm halfway through the door .......................

Very sharp Karl. Really nice work.

Cheers Andy, just dorsal gunners station and canopy to do.

Though manipulating the model today has loosened the wing root joints so the may need to be re done !
