Ryan Hothersall Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Resprayed gloss coat. Trying Model Master gloss instead of Humbrol. Too many problems with Humbrol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Decals applied. No problems with the decals themselves, but I caused the problem by trying to move one with a brush that I forgot there was turps on it... enough to wreck a decal. Grabbed some vrom from the spares file, but they were slightly smaller than the kit ones. Once that hat was dry. Sprayed a coat of model master clear satin over the model.
