Hewy Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Ok I've got over the hang over sorted ,the decals are done , I've just dabbed microsol on them,some went down well , some unfortunately shattered, i spent a lot of time putting them back together , I'm hoping the topcoats and washes will hide the breaks I'm on the gun covers now Edited March 13, 2022 by Hewy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 What a trooper! Forcing oneself to battle through the red wine haze to produce such super results. I've noticed there is a sweet spot when modelling and drinking, unfortunately for me it's usually to late........ The red "keep off" areas atop the radiators look to have gone down nicely, always the likeliest of the decals to be problematic I used to find. Nice work Darryl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Nice work Hewy, you definitely spend your resources well between drinking wine and applying decals 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work Darryl 😋 a sweet spot indeed, and like you say it's difficult to know when you're in it ,or past it , those radiator decals stuck like the proverbial "doggy do" to a blanket. The tamiya ones wouldn't have stood a chance, they're as thick as cardboard 52 minutes ago, desert falcon said: Nice work Hewy, you definitely spend your resources well between drinking wine and applying decals 👍 Thanks johnny i try my best 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if it was an AFV but otherwise I'm doing that in celebration of finally getting enough bits together to resemble an aircraft model 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 I've finally got round to finishing off the mossie after a gentle couple of nuges by @Jasper dog, cheers darryl, decals were very slightly better than useless ,the starboard side letters breaking into about 5 pieces, thanks to all who've liked and commented Cheers all Glynn 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Excellent and well worth the wait! The faded grey/green looks wonderful as does the accumulation of dirt and grime. If I didn't have a list of builds to do and finish you'd have inspired me to dig one out of the loft. Superb. Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
