    👍👍👍👍Spiros@fiveten That’s great how the dark earth camo pattern lined up on the two planes.

    I have always liked the darker blue undersides on the desert scheme, Spiros (@fiveten). Both of these are going to look great.

    Decals on...

    Decals were prone to shatter (a first for Hasegawa for me) and I tried my best to save them. Touch ups will definitely be necessary...

    Hasegawa decals aging mostly had to do only with yellowing and not shattering, my friend @johnb. There's a first time for everything, I suppose. Thankfully, the situation looks manageable, though I will have to paint the guns' red cloth covers 😬

    Decals make a big difference, Spiros (@fiveten). I have had old Hasegawa decals crack and shatter at times. I have always thought this had to do with their old decals being really thick. I have also had them go on to the model well, but would shatter after I added some decal fluid.I think the old decals just get brittle. In any case, they look great on the model.

    Thanks my friend @gblair! Hope they will withstand the upper coating tomorrow...

    Just discovered that a coating with Microscale Liquid Decal film vastly improved the decals' behaviour. Maybe I should have done such treatment from the start...
