  1. Yes you can, as long as you have not sealed the decals with a layer of varnish then you can reapply a decalsetting solution which will react on the decals... I read that my Strong (red labeled) Decalsetting solution can be too strong for some decals. That's true, as not all decals are the same: on one side you have "semi-house-made/laser-printed" decals that are really thin and very flimsy and on the other hand you have Tamiya/Hasegawa decals that are really thick and strong. Placing my Strong Decalsetting on a laser-printed decal is asking for problems: it will indeed eat through such decal, but placing my Soft (green labeled) bottle on a Tamiya decal will give no results either... Hence the reason I supply three different strenghts of my Decalsetting solution... Hope this helps... Danny Coremans DACO Products www.dacoproducts.com

    You can get DACO's F-104 wing sprue at 12,50 euro ... is this too expensive to compensate the hours of putty-work? Danny

  6. Be advised, due to the age of the decal sheet, that you have to put a new coat of varnish on top of the decals before placing them into water, otherwise they will shatter into thousands of pieces... Danny Coremans DACO Products
  7. Lufthansa Regional, and this is pure to avoid long-time-consuming license negotiations that other airliners tend to take... But the stenciling is standard for all E190s, so the sheet is always usable Danny
  8. Change 'years' into 'months' … the kit decals for the new Revell E190 have been designed already... Danny Coremans DACO Products
  9. Well, in my defense, I designed the decals based on the real Concordes, trying to fix all the panel and door shape errors by giving more correct decals. I even don't understand how the kit designers were not able to get the tail outline correct... So for all who are going to build a 1/72 Concorde: just fill all panels and doors and you'll get a bit more accurate Concorde ... Too late for you, sorry I didn't catch this topic sooner Danny Coremans DACO Products
  10. At this moment my idea is to truck a pallet with books straight from the printer to Telford rather than to have them delivered first and then probably overload my car… I'll contact all UK-residents who have pre-ordered the Lightning book that they can pick up their copy at Telford if they want, otherwise it will be mailed out the day after Telford. Danny
  11. A year later than originally scheduled, but I'm more than happy to announce the files of the upcoming "Uncovering the EE Lightning" bible have been sent to the printer this morning. The next 3 weeks the book will get printed, folded, binded, packed, shipped and delivered - just in time for the IPMS UK model show at Telford. I've activated the website page, so you can order it from this moment onwards. The "Uncovering the F-14 A/B/D Tomcat " is also being reprinted at the same time, so they will be both available next month! Danny Coremans www.dacoproducts.com
  12. For those who would like to order this set, please remember to use the full website http://www.dacoproducts.com (with frames) as otherwise the shopping cart won't be visible... Danny Coremans DACO Products
  13. Hi Mathy I don't want to be a spoiler, but the dayglo painted tip tanks in the Belgian Air Force were only HALF painted in dayglo… On the inside they remained dark green to avoid distraction for the pilots, and this can be seen on the inner fin of these pictures: Secondly, if I were you, I would remove the pylon tanks asap and replace them with those of my F-104 Starfighter Set. It's not worth to keep those "bomb shaped" pylon tanks on such a nice model... Danny Coremans DACO Products www.dacoproducts.com
  14. Hi Bob Yes that was me I had a closer look at your spine problem, and although there's a subtile difference between the early and late Marks, it's not the difference that Airfix is giving: Middle = F.1 / Bottom = F.6 red line is based on F.6 and here's a comparison for the gun panel for your holes: Feel free to find more differences, it aids me too to have a closer look at everything :-) Danny www.dacoproducts.com
  15. Well, it seems my book won't be ready for Christmas after all, there's still a lot of work ahead with creating the captions. So the release will be something for 2016 as I'm no longer going to rush it... On the other hand, to help you with the spine already: this part of the spine is different between the early and later marks, and Airfix seems to have done the early mark version. The F.3 / F.6 / F.53 have a bigger battery than the F.1 / F.2 and as such this part of the spine had to be enlarged. So try to find similar pictures of the area of the F.1 / F.2 to be able to compare the spine angles... Danny DACO Products www.dacoproducts.com
