oh wow John that's why you have taken so much time and care :rolleyes: good on you for doing it and all the best , and good luck, my friend :D I think you have done a top job on it, ;) that little bit dose add to the bombs and looks good, nice attention to detail ,

i have to ask,because im a noob, i take it that the decal medium is used instead of water ? and the fix is what it says

The decal fix is applied first to be like an adhesive and the medium softens the decal to make it conform to the surface. They work absolutely superb.

Also, I checked the model today and found the decal to have bedded down perfectly, conforming to the rivet detail and looking as if it had been painted on. Just need to blend it in now as it seems a little too stark at the moment. 5***** to vallejo on their decal fix and medium, it is the best I have used so far.

The humbrol satin varnish has also made the decal form nicely into the surface, making no ridge where the decal and panel surface is. I just dropped by my hobby shop to get some stuff and unfortunately, I found it was closed :sad:

Keep up the great work on the Stuka John. It's a fantastic looking aircraft (in my opinion) and you seem to be cracking on with a great model of it.

All the best

Paul

Ps. Just finished one of these wicked looking dive bombers myself!

Great news! The Brassin MG 15 from eduard came today! The resin is cast brilliantly, without any flaws or bubbles and the photo etch fret is of course fine. This is up to the usual eduard standard.

I just assembled the Machine gun today because I had gone for a holiday for a about a week. The resin was slightly warped, but was fixed with some hot water and bending. The Brassin MG fit nicely onto the plane without any major problems.
