Well there I was, almost finished, decals set on gloss coat, topped off with dull coat lacquer. Three days latter I notice that the large national insignia balkenkruez was chipped and missing some small white and black sections. No worries I thought, masked for the black, boom... perfection. Now for the tiny almost insignificant white section. Here's where the calamity struck... when I pulled off the masking tape... to my horror... it pulled up 2/3 of the decal. As the tears hit the floor, and thanks to my anger management skills not the model, I'm at a difficult and unfortunate crossroad to finish my beloved 1/32 Early Bf 109 G-6 << Anton Hackl masterpiece. My options (so far):
- Overlay another Nation Marking (Cross) on top of the fragmented one
- Sand, repaint, and start over in the area of the disaster
- Concoct some wild historical theory about the subject that justifies the partially missing balkenkruez
Does anyone have any wisdom to address this unfortunate tragedy ?
