marauderdriver Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Harv, Martin, Thank You Gentlemen No need looking for decals at this point cause if I can't save them I'm packing it up and making it a Pakistani AF later I may be all-right though, I slathered them in Micro-Sol and mashed them with a wet towel and I only screwed up 1 of them as of now. Never had decals react to Future before and it was only the Hobbycraft National markings not the Trumpy numbers on the nose. Still not happy cause it ruins any chance at a contest placer, Oh WELL! Hope the Micro-Scale Satin don't react to the decals Thanks Again Fella's I appreciate the offer Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Ok Here are the pics, one got a little distorted and the 2 on top of the wings have a chip taken out. Covered in Micro- Scale Satin Still aggravated, but I'll live it looks worse in-person LSP_Paul and EmperorKai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Paul Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I wouldn't worry bout the national markings Jack..you can do what Mark31 did and lightly sand them and they will look VERY realistic. Or you can leave them and say Mr Thran the communist lacky sign painter was having a bad day. Either way they look fine dude. Great job!

I know what you mean, I had the same thing happen to my decals on my MIG! I was so upset and was freaking out! They were just falling apart for some reason. They just didn't have enough stick on the back side (bad decals).... But Paul instructed me how to save them. I thought I was going to loose them all BUT!!!! There are many options my friend so don't give up and you are doing a Fantastic JOB!! Honestly! And just look at all of the great guys that stepped up immediately to help you out!

dutik Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thats why the AM folks offer decal solutions (softener, glue and else) as well as decal sets. Or masks, if you prefer to paint the markings on. BTW, I remember that the nationality markings at our real tanks were decals too (stickers, to be correct). Numbers and instructions were stencilled/painted on. - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hey - dutik, I have Micro- Set & Sol, but the problem started with the Future over-coat the made the HobbyCraft decals WRINKLE!. Heavy doses of Micro-Sol and a wet coffee filter and got all of them back down but one. Never had a reaction to Future before. Decided to use the"Helmet Head" as it would be correct for the J-6 and got him glued up and primered Pics Soon jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Got some paint on my pilot, I can't believe how busy you came be looking for work and trying to sell a car. The visor had a spot in it and I had to "SKRUNCH" this poor guy together to get him in the seat and in the cockpit. And one hand looks like MICKEY MOUSE HAND but that's the way it goes and looks alright in the pit LSP_Paul and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
