Hello All,
Been awhile since I've been here and still building the Hasegawa F-14A (which is coming along satisfactorilly). Anyway, I applied the vertical stabilizer decals to a completely smooth gloss black surface using Micro-set and Micro-sol. I let them dry overnight and the next morning painted over them with a clearcoat of about 2/3 dullcoat, 1/3 glosscoat and a bit of thinner (mineral spirits). The effect is generally ok, the stabs look worn and weathered, but the large decals silvered a bit. I'm not sure why that happened, but I'm wondering if you guys can tell me so that it dosn't happen again in future projects. I have no means to post photos or I would. Thanks for your help,
Dave
