SHAR67 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Well Rick This is getting better and better every time I return to view this, I just noticed you have problems with silvering. Well how I fix the problem is get some nail polish remover and a sharp scalpel blade or a pin, then where the silvering is put a cut or pierce with the pin tip then get a small brush and brush over the top you can also use tamiya thinners X20A instead of the nail remover. Hope this may help if not then you have this for future ref.Clive Edited February 25, 2016 by SHAR67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngtiger1 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Coming along great. As for the silvering, did you lay down a gloss coat before applying decals? Also, a good product to have... http://www.megahobby.com/solvaset-2oz-walthers.aspx works like a charm every time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
