    Very nice, Reinhard @grimreaper
    The 417 on starboard, does that have some minor cracks. Should be easy to solve.

    seems, although treated with the Microscale Liquid Decal film, the decals are still a bit brittle
    gives a used look to it 🙂

    Microscale liquid decal is a very good product, but, unfortunately, cannot save decals that have already started to break apart, @grimreaper. I had some cases with decals that seemed perfect but disintegrated upon submerging to water. Then I coated them with liquid decal but, still they could not hold together.

    Reinhard, @grimreaper
    I always find it fascinating when a build gets to this stage. Adding the decals is the step when a model comes alive, at least for me. Painting them is a close second. By the looks of things, this is is well on it's way.
