Sorry to hear the bad news........this is one of the reasons i never wont to clear coat :(
Hope it turns out OK in the end

Very bad news Seb, that is terrible. Did you start off with light mist coats? That is a must when using TS-13 but I guess you have learnt that now :( I've used Tamiya clear over Renaissance decals before with no problems - although some Carpenta ones gave me a scare recently.

If you want to try and salvage things, I have some Sanremo 2001 Renaissance decals you are welcome to. Email me your address and I'll sent them off.

Hi phil,

yes i spray a first light coat of ts13 before like i have done for the pug...but perhaps, i have not wait enought time between the first coat and the second one.
But now, the effects is less bad as it was...the bubble decrease...and it s quite acceptable (i will try to take photo to show you the effect)... i think i will not redo the body another time.
But many many thanks for the offer.


Hey PMan, you mean, you don't clear coat the ASTRA DTM ?

Head up buddy!
You resolve problems with Pug and you will resolve this too.

You think you can save it? If so that is good news!

Modelling is an exercise in damage control :D

i will let it dry until the end of the week...and i will watch if it s a acceptable body that can be shown ;-)

We learn making mistake...but we must know why mistake happen to learn ;-)

Hey Seb,

Just found this post.

TS-13 has a history of destroying decals. They have to be completley dry and have no air bubbles underneath. Using a decal solvent like microsol and microset can get rid of the air bubbles. Just make sure when decals are dry you wipe off with water on cloth.

I use Mr Super Clear from Gunze Sangyo. Does not attach decals and has a better shine than Tamiya. You can also try auto two pak clear that a few people use. Too much hard work just for a model though.

Hope this helps in the future.
