tamiya decals (rubbish) P51d mustang help

i usually don't use kit decals , i generally try to go with aftermarket (too many problems), you may want to let the future cure for 48 hours , i always let it cure that long and just about everything i've read says the same. there is a website , flightdecs.net i believe , not certain though , and they carry all kinds of aftermarket decals. maybe somebody could help with the website because i'm not sure if thats correct.

its not flightdecs.net its, www.flightdecs.ca , sorry about that

Thanks Bowser for the link thats a great site . You say 48hrs drying time . Ok I'll give that a go
None of them seam to have the one I'm looking for . I didn't want to change the paint scheme on it but it looks like I may have too. Now the focus is to find some decals and then repaint the model to match..



cheers mike

How do you mean they wrinkled?

When I put my decals on, then hit them with Set or Sol, they always wrinkle, but then after an hour or so they settle down.
If not, I just bang more Sol on them

tweety I know they wrinkle when you put them on especially when you put decal setting solutions on , but they have been on for several days now and I've tryed several types of decals setting solutions but to no avail..I must have a dud set , or I just stuffed up somewhere maybe as Bowser stated I didn't let the pledge one go enought time to cure . The setting solutions used are micro sol and aero set II

cheers mike.

You could try Walther's Solvaset , its the strongest setting solution I know of. But if your decals have been on for a couple days I don't know if its going to have much effect. www.walthers.com

Sorry Mike, but you may be right in getting a dud batch.

I allow my Pledge to cure for 24 hours before I decal the model, and between OEM and A/M decals I havent had any problems like you are having.
I had the Pledge go milky on me a couple of times using setting agents, but after brushing some more pledge over the decal, all was well.

Thanks for your input guys , I've started to remove them now luckily I only applyed 2 decals on so it shouldn't take much to remove them , I hope ..

cheers mike
