And another bl**dy stumbling block ! The decals are performing wonderful work at f***ing up left right and centre!
Some are like a film of plastic, and just won't settle, whilst others, which look great on the sheet, just disappear once positioned on the model, due to lack of density ! It might be due to their age, but I've used much, much older decals in the past without problems. I've also experienced a strange effect when placing the walk way decals, which are supposed to be yellow with red dashes, but turned out almost invisible brown. After applying some Micro Sol, a sudden, greyish 'bloom' appeared the length of the decal, which seems to have eaten into the clear coat !
B*ll*cks !
Anyway, I'll persevere, but I'm only going to use those decals which are really prominent, and forget the small stencils, which just disappear when placed.
Hopefully, I'll have some pics in a day or so - if I don't launch the bl**dy thing across the room, and I might just get it finished by the deadline. The roundels, fin flashes and one set of walk way decals have almost taken three hours to apply, delaying everything, so i'm not counting any chickens yet !
