the decals work fine, but after they have been applied they become a bit brittle, some minor repainting neccessary DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

panel wash done DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

all decals applied as you can see, some more decal repainting neccessary DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr

Maybe masking and painting would have been better from the beginning, but my dad repainted the damaged stripes and they look ok now.

the old Hasegawa decals aren´t realy good anymore, need a long time to losen from the paper and during that they crack have to do some repainting DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr
