take three!
Well I finnaly got up the nerve to attack the
decals on the tail again.
I printed them out on the clear decal paper and will rely on the white painted tail fin to do the rest.
One set that got sealed with klear developed, an although unwanted effect, a nice crackeled effect like antic paint work! I think I gave it to much in one go!
The next got good old Vallejo glossy varnish. Thin coats this time but loads of them! That worked a bit better.
So having had to or three days to dry I cut them up and put them on!!!
For those yet to try DIY
decals, a word of warning. They do not slide in the same way that commercial
decals do, so they have to be very close to the place they need to be. more than a couple of mm and you are reaching for the water and a brush. Which cant be to good for the glue!

All I need to do now is put all the other
decals and stencils on!
Right now these are being left to dry and I hope the darn things settle down and dont curl up at the edges like that last time!
There are unfortunatly gaps, which I will have to live with. From a distance with one eye closed they dont look to bad.
