decals that decalsoft doesn't work on

With the Academy decals it was a complete failure and with airfix decals it did just what it says on the tin, or bottle in this case. Question is, are the Academy decals a one off and...- mossiepilot

Revell decal soft and Humbrol decalfix
I'm just about to start applying the decals to my P-47 and I don't know if I can use the title products together. I've searched around for microsol and microset, which a lot of the guys on here seem to use, and can't find a supplier, other than on line. While I was in my LMS I found some...- mossiepilot

Battle of Prokohovka help please
I have an idea for a small dio about the above battle. There is a story that a few of the soviet tanks deliberatly rammed tiger tanks, and I thought this would be a good subject, with the two tanks being close together the dio will not be too big. My request is for information about the actual...- mossiepilot

PVA glue?
I got some PVA glue from my local Wilko's recently thinking to use it on cockpit canopys and the like, and when I got it home it doesn't look right. When I was a kid PVA was white and gloopy, dried clear with a rubbery texture, the stuff I've got is clear and seems to dry hard. So the question...- mossiepilot

Hi guys, thought I'd have a go at this SIG, but instead of my usual aircraft, I thought I'd have a go at some armour. This is what I'm going to have a go at - Not my usual fodder, but I thought it would make a nice change. I haven't made an AFV since I was a kid. Any comments and help...- mossiepilot

Styrene glue in my experience dosen't work well through paint, so how do you do it, stick the parts together I mean. Is it CA that...- mossiepilot
