lesthegringo Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Guys, I'm using some nice Zotz decals, P-47 pin up girl markings. The issue I am having is that the edges of the decals are very pronounced, principally the insignia but also to a lesser degree on the others. it's almost a sharp edge to the carrier film, which is very visible. I am using future to get the decals to snuggle down, and on a couple of other recent models (Tamiya F4U and Eduard P-400) I have been able to make the decals look like they are painted on, so suspect my basic technique is sound. So do you have any suggestions as to how I can get the edges of the decals to be less obvious? Cheers Les Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jinmmydel Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Use better decals is a good start. IMO Zotz are some of the worst AM decals out there by comparison, and I suspect their characteristics are at least partly to blame. Generally with good thin decals the protective clear over it will eliminate that. The micro-mesh is a good idea, but I've never tried it. I'd recommend a test. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
