hueb s the color is great and the decals are good, the problem was the hardener and the surface is a little sticky.
ttwk thank you. try to sunbath for a couple of days and it will vanish the yellowish, if they are cracked try using microscale micro liquid decal film to hold everything together. this was one of the reasons that I decided to conclude all of the body of the kits that I have stocked first. talking about the intake, first I glued the piece than I fill the gaps with putty and sanded. I made a sand tool with the waribashi (the Japanese wood fork ) ) cut one in the middle and glue a stripe of sandpaper on it, very ease to use and fit the intake entry as well.

Thanks for the advice! Nice color there!

Sorry for asking one more question about old decal: I have the experience that no matter how long I soak the decal into the water, the decal film just do not detach from the backing paper. What can I do to solve this? Many thanks and good luck for your progress!

Cheers!

Thanks! Is that meant to dissolve the old glue that stick the film and the backing paper together? I should have thought of that! Thanks again!

Cheers!
