HI ALL

WELL them decalls are a flop as painted them with microsol liquid an it did no good as tested a few small decalls that i dint want an the result was the decalls all just fell apart SO IM GOIN to put the plane on hold untill i can go to hannants an ask them if they have any decalls that are near to my decalls but i will light her up so you guys can see her till then this thread is on hold

I'm surprised the liquid decal film didn't work. Good luck at Hannants.

Nice going Chris, good job they aren't far from you, so no waiting for postage.

Great that you got the decals chris , i knew the old Monogram decals would probably be dodgy , ive had loads of older monogram stuff and 90% of the time the decals are cracked and break up like yours . If you can get the monogram toolings in a Revell reboxing then theres no problem as the Revell decals are always good .

Fantastic looking decal sheets Chris, I am so pleased that you have found replacements.
