,,, making the carrier film visible?


Consider too that there are no dry tranfer solutions availliable, the subject is a Mig-15 in 1/32 and have tons of stencils in an aeromaster decal sheet to be appied.

brush coat each panel with future, wait 48 hrs, apply decals. Or coat the entire model with future before decaling. Future is the only way to go on NMF, regardless if you are foiling or painting.

Thanks for your kindness Crockett, let me just ask this doubt: With a Future coat isn't it probable that the foil will loose it's metalic look and will look a little more like aluminezed dope?

Thank you!

Nuno, you are correct. The Future will degrade the NMF. If you can, trim the carrier film as close as possible to the graphic, apply the graphic & setting solution. May require more than one application of setting solution. With quality decals like AeroMaster, you should get good results. Test it in an inconspicous area to get the feel of what's needed to minimize carrier film visibility.
