Thanks guys. So just when i thought it was all going swimmingly, the dreaded silvering effect appeared. ![]() ![]() It`s annoyed me as I`m not really a spring chicken at this modelling lark. I am aware of silvering on decals and figured as much with this kit due to it`s `age`. A gloss coat was applied prior to decal placement. Plenty of decal sol and water were applied to the decals and area where the decals were to be placed. Once I started to notice the silvering appearing I gently sliced the decals while in place and applied more decal sol so it could get under the decal to see if that would fix it. Nothing worked and I`m not happy to display this as is. So the question is what now? I`m of the mind to just remove the offending decals and leave it like that. |

It is mainly just the serials and yellow rescue square. The other bits I can live with just. Thanks for the offer mate but I have a supply of large letters so I can do my own if I choose to. |

My answer is to prick all over with a pin or use a new knife and gently slice without damaging the paint then FLOOD the area with your favourite setting solution, always works for me. If any silvering left the touch in with the base colour, leave to dry, wipe off with a damp tissue/cloth then apply the finishing coat. |

Have you tried spraying the silvering decals with thinners ? http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2006/10/stuff_eng_benshahar_bf110.htm Tried it on an f4 with silvered decals, worked great. Edited by Smee, May 20 2016, 10:21 AM.

Worked on the bombs which were the usual Airfix offering complete with large `dent`. Not the best made bombs, but they will do. Then drilled holes and used a bit of clear sprue to fix everything in place.![]() ![]() Finished pics now in the gallery. |
