Thanks Lee. This was a Birthday gift as the real Spitfire the model is of, flies over our garden frequently, as they are now based in our local airport. Ive loved Spitfires since a kid so as soon I hear the Merlin engine, Im outside looking for it. The resin model had to be done. Not too good when finished but not too bad; the resin was difficult at time as so fragile. The hardest thing to do were the decals. And they don't look good after being applied, so any advice on how to cover the outer edges would be very appreciated.

I do the same thing when I hear a different sounding plane or chopper I’m running outside I live in the country not very many unusual planes fly over. On your decals cut them a little closer if you can and use Microset made by Microscale if you can’t get that apply vinegar to your surface first then put your decal on dry it then brush a coat over it and let dry sometimes this works but like Jim said sometimes you get a decal that just won’t behave. Jim is right about the MicoSol it helps soften the decal to go over raised areas but it sometimes won’t help the silvering effect. Microset will
