    After decaling.

    PS. I don't know how your decals come out, but no matter how hard I try, there will always be some dust, lint or other rubbish.

    To me the decals do look great as well, they follow the surface nicely, Bernard @lis
    Working dust free is nearly impossible, for sure that after a coat those particles will be less visible.

    Decals look great, Bernard (@lis). It always seems like no matter what measures I take to control lint, dust, etc, there will always be some stray stuff that flies in.

    I taked of home-made masks from turrets. Dorsal turret had weakest paiting I think. One stripe is thinnest than another. What do You think about it? Repaint it?

    Lis (@lis),

    I'd take a tooth pick and cut the end so that it is not as blunt as the original. More of a thin flexible strip of wood. Then I'd carefully work off the excess paint on the thicker frame/brace of the dorsal turret. Work it back to the molded in line. Other than that the other turrets look sharp and crisp. Lookin Good.

    Lis, @lis it is really starting to come together. Decals have always been the bain of my model building. Never have a build where the decals behave perfectly. All in all though this is really turning out to be a great build.
