As promised, here are some pics of the decals.  As you can see the rudder decal is curling and it seems no amount of setting solution will help.  I may resign myself to masking and painiting.

Looks nice.  Too bad about the tail decal.  You might try sticking it down with a bit of Future, underneath and on top.  Otherwise you may have to just mask and spray the rudder, which shouldn't be too hard.

Scot, that was FAST!  I just posted the pics!  I guess I'm not the only one NOT going out doors on a beautiful day (+26 c and sunny here! in Calgary).  Besides, it is nice to be in the cool basement doing my models on a hot day!Cool [8D]

Well its hot and 34C here today and I was silly enough to be out working in the yard today for a little while.  whew... thank goodness for central air! 

The 109 is looking good Jay, too bad about the decal though and I don't know of any fix for that.   Looks like you might have to paint it. Sad [:(]

Well, time to go watch the Senators lose a hockey game.

Other than the decal problem, looks real good Jay.  Hope you come up with a fix.

Okay this is the last time I beat this very dead horse.  I totally appologize for being so late but I really ahd full intentions of finishing no matter what.  So I give you Heller's 1:72 Spanish Civil War Legion Condor Bf-109 B1.  Totally oob and the decals worked pretty good for being so old except the rudder.  What you see is black decal strips on a painted white rudder, good enough for me I say!  So have at'er and let me know what you think.
