    the positive on old kits is that the the amount of decals is not that high - decals finished


    still a lot to do

    Thanks for looking in.

    Paint and decals look great, Martin (@impisi). It sounds like you used the kit decals. I am surprised they would still work.

    Yes @gblair, those are the kit decals. Only the yellow band ones at the top of the fin, did not work, so this I'll have to paint. The old Kit decals reacted quite well to "Set" and "Sol" for the more angled positions all others were layed in between to layers of Future.

    Thanks for the info on the decals, Martin (@impisi). I have read about using Future like this for decals, but have never tried it. I build a lot of older kits, so it looks like something I need to try.

    Nice recovery on the decals Martin (@impisi). Those angled letters on the tail are quite hard to make if you go the sprayed on markings approach, so it's good you were able to use them.
