DoubtingmangoSo I just finished this little Italian job. The decals came out with a lot of the edges showing, which then got a lot worse when I added some washes. I used Microset on the decals, and then sealed them with Tamiya semi-gloss before the washes, but it actually looks like the washes got under the decals. Any thoughts?

Bogicevic VladimirIt looks like you haven't spray gloss coat before you applied decals. Or decals didn't set well. There are two solutions. One is lacquer thinner. Put the thinner with fine brush in dots over the place where you have silvering. Thinner should destroy the film. If it raises paint under, just leave it, it will settle back. Important thing here is that, once you applied thinner, you shouldn't touch decal for something like 20 minutes, at least. Second way is mix of sugar and water, half - half. You make a hole with a needle on the decal, than you put mix on the top. It should enter in the space between decal and paint and, when drayed, make a gloss film in between them which will act as a gloss under the decal. Wipe excess mix with wet cloath and you are done.

Mr JamesHow annoying. I've never heard of the sugar water trick from Bogicevic. I'll be interested if this works. If the thinner, sugar trick fails, what else can you do but use a scalpel to cut around them, since you've sealed it,
29 August, 19:05
DoubtingmangoThanks mates! I believe Bogicevic is right. I think I did fail to gloss coat before the decals. I think I'll try the sugar water first
30 August, 10:42
Bogicevic VladimirOk. There are few small tings I should add then. Heat the water first, when hot it will disolve sugar beter and apply it while it's still warm, it will have more viscosity. Make small hole or slice with modeling knife, put few drops of mix on the top and let it dry. You will see emidiatly if it's penatrating. When dry, wipe carefully excess mix with moist cloth. Repeat where neaded. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it worked for me many times.

DoubtingmangoThanks Bogicevic! I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll try the lacquer thinner technique. I love this site!

Mark SherwoodWhere the *uck's this been hiding. Very nice build Mr Mango and I hope the decal solution from Bogicevic work's out🤞
31 August, 21:31
DoubtingmangoThanks Mark! So I punched some holes in the decals and applied the warm sugar water, but unfortunately it did not seem to make a noticeable difference. I decided my best shot was to just grab the scalpel and remove the decals, which was very easy. Bogicevic said the solution would get under the decals! I have successfully applied new decals, and my little Italian job is now base-worthy. New pics to come.
31 August, 23:14
Bogicevic VladimirWell, you find a solution, which is the most important thing. I can not know why something that worked for me many times does not work for you in this case. Maybe that what I think is silvering is residual glue from decal paper. Who knows... Anyway, good luck with your project.
31 August, 23:56
JohnAll's well that ends well. 👍 Mango, your builds have me hankering to do some armor but I still have commitments to do a couple more a/c. When I do get a chance, part of me wants to start small with a Pz IV, but another part says go for broke and do a Maus!

DoubtingmangoAs promised, new pics of the new decals have been added, along with pics of the work I have started on the base. Once again, thank you for the help Bogicevic!
12 September, 15:01
DoubtingmangoMore work on the base. Just need to paint up the base and add foliage
13 September, 22:54
DoubtingmangoThank you all! The palm tree is badass, but I can only take credit for the placement. I got it off an Ebay seller from Thailand, Thannan Diorama Exporters. Not cheap, but I had to get one to see if they were as good as they look. They are! Also need to give a shout out to Value Gear for much of the stowage.
3 October, 17:34
Landlubber MikeWow, this is fantastic!! The model and the base looks amazing, but that palm tree really pulls it all together in an extra special way. Well done!

Bobby Thumbsaww man I thought you was a next level tree maker - i was gonna hit you up for hints

Clair GreenwoodI sure hope one day my models would look half as good as your work sir 🙂

Rodion Akhmetov » Заявки за функцииIt is necessary to be able to change the structure (add) topics, for example, you need to add the Infinity category with subcategories (Nomads, O12, etc.). But this requires special rights, I have level 0, and it does not rise in any way, I added one instruction, made edits, but the level is still 0. Help who in to the topic, add categories for the Infinity game universe!
p.s. now all Infinity figures are in "Science Fiction - Other" category

Martin OostromYou'll get your first star after a certain number of database additions/changes that are correct (better said: not wrong). With each star you get more rights to change stuff.
10 October, 05:33
Rodion AkhmetovCan I find out what and how much does it affect? I've made changes and edits, but where can I see any progress in reputation?
15 October, 10:57
Spanjaardi believe there used to be something at SCM Contributor Page but it does not seem to be there any more. there is a line that says "Full contributor statistics »" but that will show exactly the same data.
15 October, 11:11
Spanjaardanyway, if you want the categories added, you can provide a list and one of the members with the right to do it, can get that added

Matti ThomaesNice build, interesting subject. Never even heard of this smal flying boat. Seems very smal to be boasting six engines.

Transall NGVery happy to see another one built !! 🙂
I had built a ber for mine, didn't like the wheeled version...
Thanks !
