    Looks amazing, my friend @mvtb!
    Yep, some decals have almost no glue on them.
    I usually put a drop of Future on the area to be applied.

  • Thanks my friend.

    As to the future,me too,but it was not necessary in this case,for the Mark Fit also is a good adhesion promoter product.

    One hour plus masking...argh...:

    I feel your pain! At 1/72, most greenhouse canopies take much longer than an hour...

    This is looking great!

    Your "Mosquite" is getting there. Looking very good with the marks added, and after an hour of greenhouse work the finishline is creeping up on you.

  • Thanks Greg,that´s one of the reasons I almost left totally 1/72...no more eyesight...

    Thanks Erik,fixing masking errors now...

    Ei Marcus, de certeza que este não é um avião japonês ? 😉
    Fabulous model, airbrushing those green blotches after applying the decals is not for the faint of heart. Well done!

    Well, now I know why you chose this particular airplane to model: no good painter can ever pass up a one-of-a-kind paint scheme!

    Looking great! And out of the ordinary.
