johnd Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Evening all, I have some FCM Battle of Britain decals in 1/72 scale. When I tried them years ago it wasn't a great success, with the carrier film showing up on the model and I had to overpaint up to the actual marking. I put them aside and forgot about them but just recently I read a reference to FCM making decals designed to be fixed in place, left 24 hours and then an outer film peeled off to give a near painted on look. Is this where I went wrong? There's nothing to suggest in the instructions that this what you should do with this sheet though...

Ivor Ramsden Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) I'm afraid I can't answer your question but I can confirm that I've had big problems with mega-silvering on FCM airliner decals. Maybe that's because, as you've suggested, the carrier film is designed to be removed. Any ideas, anyone? PS - there's a thread here which seems to cover this topic: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air...p;hl=FCM+Decals I'll follow the advice in it next time I use FCM decals.

Silver Fox Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I used the 1/48 scale Battle Of Britain sheet and had no issues and found no top film. Now Hawkeye decals....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
