Could be dicey. Hope it works out.

That is a great looking model.

So far the DecalFix is not working. Anyone know of any household cleaning materials that might work ,

I've used a face cloth and very hot water pressed gently but firmly onto the decal with success before

After a nights drying time the transfers are sort of snugged down. I reckon several coats of clear should hide any gaps.

Like it - great job, and very plausible.

I had carefully painted the etched propeller boss and glued one in place, as I was gluing the second it flew off when I removed my tweezers. After about half an hour battling the carpet monster I gave up and punched a new one out of thick aluminium foil.

Painted and glued on I reckon you wouldn't spot the replacement unless it was pointed out.

very nicely done.

i always worry about decals not complying to surfaces and usually add softener far too often, though the decals on my 1/48 Ju52 worked and behaved perfectly !

Thanks I have no idea where the yellow rim roundel transfers came from they were quite thick and stiff. The other transfers came from an Xtradecal sheet apart from the serial numbers which came from the kit. They were nice and thin and went on beautifully with just warm water.

I am going to order some Ultimate model products extra strong decal solution just in case I ever need the firepower.

Good outcomes on both the decal and prop boss.

Thanks I am quite proud of the prop boss. Only problem after spending half an hour on my knees looking for the original my right knee is making a horrible grating noise.

Good work so far!

Well, with your talent, maybe make yourself a new knee!

I have been saying for years what I need is grease nipples on my knees and back. Get up in the morning grab the grease gun a few quick squirts of Moly grease and good to go.

I'm with you there my friend. Similar issues here.

fastmongrel · Dec 13, 2020

Given the topsides a coat of Winsor &Newton Galeria Matt varnish. A first use for me and so far it's drying to a nice uniform texture.

The human body is badly designed we should still be walking on all fours and eating leaves.
