Did anyone have any luck with these decals. I've made 2 models now and can't seem to get them to work. First one I didn't realise and was left with silver even though I glossed micro sol and set it which I've never had a problem before. 2nd I got them down and was even more careful but ended up either not being able to get the film off or the decals came of as well! I tried the masking tape method and enamel thinner I saw someone suggested as well. It's almost like the decals aren't sticking probably to the model. Making a focke wulf now and having similar issues. Am i missing a trick or something? It's quite frustrating as I loved making Eduard kits but it's making me hesitant to now. Cheers

Wow these are fantastic. Love the variation in the bases aswell. Feel very inspired. If you don't mind we asking, what's next in the pipe line? -
Hi guys, I was wondering how compatible ak real 'color' is with standard acrylics. I.e. can I spray it over say standard water based acrylic or will it crack? When I bought them, when they first came out, I was under the impression that they were normal acrylics but the smell and further research suggests otherwise! Many thanks in advance Joss

Thanks Johnson, Im going to try get it done for next week so fingers crossed...

Thanks guys, I have had a bit of a hiccup, when I was removing the majority of the washes I accidentally stripped of a large section of paint on the wing 😒 I think it's fixable but it's going to take me time to sand it down and get it nice and smooth to repaint again so unfortunately I'm not going to finish it in time. I will post my model up in the RFI when I'm done with it but for now I have to apologise and wish everyone else the best of luck! All the best Joss

Hi Micheal, just had a look at your build and she's stunning. I think I'll run the paint brush to change that line. Some interesting differences. The Eduard kit doesn't contain all numbers for the serial on the tail and the extra kill markings as well. Thanks for sharing! Thanks Joss

After some time away from this project I finally got back to it. The main decals are on. I'm not 100% whether to add the stencils, I'll probably go for the major ones Here's a few photos, it doesn't show the finish in these photos but I'll crack out the DSLR later and hope for the magic orb in the sky to finally appear. Just the inner landing gear doors to add and the main flaps. Then onto the fun part, Weathering! I adjusted the front landing gear so it sits more upright. I'll take a photo later but I compared them against two tamiya kits and she seems to sit at the same angle. Any comments or suggestion welcome Thanks for looking Joss

Vengeance! Rex Barber's P-38G Lightning
Joss replied to TimT's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Brilliant! She looks amazing. I like how realistic she looks. I alway find tamiyas example models to look toy like but yours does the kit justice and looks like the real thing! Joss- 23 replies

Joss replied to Tom84's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Wow, stunning finish. Good job! -
Quite so Johnson, I found I was getting dispondent trying to get a perfect model so now I just try to do the best I can! Here's a picture of her with her theatre markings on. Just got to get the invasion stripes on and the nose and tail colours. Post picture, I've got the olive drab on but need to lighten it up so that should be tomorrow's job. Thanks for looking Joss
