Twokidsnosleep Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Doesn’t your weather go from -20 and blowing to +30 with 99% humidity with a week of spring flooding in between?? I will try the Tamiya decanted unless I find a better midnight blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I just read through your posts in this thread. You have done an amazing job on this build Bruce, it's great to see it back on the bench.

Belugawrx Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Tim, Lee, Mark, Lloyd, Thank you very much for the feedback, it's encouraging,.... at this point.... So I laid on one of the swooshes, and I gotta say this is just not doing anything for me.. That one decal took me 4 hours of manipulation and a 4 coats of MICRO SOL. It's got a matte finish to it, and I am not clearing these panels... Silvering took place under the "clear" portion, and when I try to set them flat, the "clear" tore away So, I am now thinking... Scan the decal sheet,.. Make a mask,.. Spray Tamiya X-12, .... I'll keep detailing while I think about this one...Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
