Decals - check!
Not super easy to soften. Great print and in register but kind of on a thicker side.
I used both Vallejo decal softener and Humbrol Decalfix to do the persuasion.
There is some minor silvering to fix.
We will see how it all looks after a clear coat.

Nikola

Hi gents,
Weathering has begun!
First was the colour modulation (which I should have done before decals but life ain't complicated enough so I like to spice it up a bit )
Lesson learned.
Next are washes, post-shading, oils, pencils...

Prop ready...
Re: Revell 1/32 P-51D-5NA Mustang - Work in progress
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2022 9:47 pm
I just realized that I made a mistake on the prop - the cuffs were apparently made from rubber so there wouldn't be any bare metal visible due to scratches in that area.
Will have to fix that.
