Sorry for the delay in posts guys, things have been pretty hectic around the joint at the moment, been doing some study for a course so i have to take a break for a bit,

what i have accomplished so far isnt much but its a start anyways,

the wings and the other parts have been put together

the fuselage had been painted black on the inside to give it a bit of a shadow look and then joined together and let to sit for a while

then i place the pieces in a rough lay out to see how big the aircraft is and i must say its a good size

Hi there Guys, some more has been done on the beauty of the skies from yesteryear,

the decals have gone onto the main fuselage and after a few issues and a bit of trimming they are on with a reasonable result.

I did have some major issues with getting the colours to wrap around the nose but its getting there,

let me know what you think

When using Mircrosol you just follow the instructions on the bottle which are to position the decal the brush the solution onto it. Then leave it until set. If you have wrinkles or bubbles you just prick of cut then with a sharp knife and reapply the microsol.

You can also use heat inthe form of a hair dryer set to a low heat setting to get a similar and faster result. Just don't leave the heat directed at one location for too long as things start to melt!

You can put micro sol on even after the decal has been placed and dried. But it doesn't always yield the best results. Or any other decal solvent but I've always only used micro sol. It's what's available here.

Make sure and get some micro sol to go with the micro set. Micro set goes on first when you're laying the decal down. It begins the softening process and helps make a better bond. Then micro sol is really what does the magic! Good news that it worked though.
