stevej60 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hi folk's a nightmare with the rest of the decal's as they have a very matt carrier film so placed them and brushed gloss under and over them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well you are certainly doing an excellent job with the old kit. I wouldn't have guessed the decals had been a nightmare - it's all looking great! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're doing a lovely job with this one, but not surprised that you're having a bit of a 'mare with the transfers..... it's Revell....! I've yet to find a Revell kit where the transfers (decals) want to play ball and NOT silver even on a perfectly high-gloss, smooth surface! They're Revell transfers - they 'silver'...... They always did -even when I was a kid back in the early 70's, sticking them onto badly painted gloss enamel paint.... Airfix on the other hand have always behaved well... the new Cartograph transfers are the best I've used so far! Anyway, not wanting to get into any debate about transfer/decal quality... I really like what you've achieved with this old Revell kit..... Lovely job! Cheers, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
