Booty003 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I am at the decal stage of a 1/72 F-4J build and was planning on doing the very eye-catching VF-74 scheme from USS America, Linebacker '72. Was using SuperScale sheet 72-823 and had an absolute nightmare with them. Every decal for the red lightning bolt ripped, developed random holes in and was so thin where it had to cover part of the existing upper walkway that the decal colour underneath was visible. To make things even worse, when I used decal softener the SuperScale decals crinkled up, bubbled and started to almost lift off the model. Absolutely gutted. I have had to remove the lot as I couldn't save them. Has anyone else has better results with SuperScale? Back to the drawing board for a scheme now.....

stevehnz Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hmmmm, that is a bit worrying, I've got these decals to do likewise though I think mine might be an earlier printing, I bought them from a forum member & was recommended to give them a coat of Microscale Liquid Decal Film & will be bedding them in Klear as explained in this thread.

Flemming Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The decal softener you used was that Microscales own or something else? Flemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
