Maciej BellosA drop of mikro krystl clear on both sides of the canopy could do the job. Or some patafix or blue tack.

Ronny VerlaekMost off the decals ar on , the decalsolution , TAMIYA DECAL SOFTER MARK FIT and MARK FIT STRONG i used for this decals. I tried to remove the white spots , leftovers from this decal solution. I can not remove them , i tried a degreaser, oderless thinner, dasty , nothing worked ? !!! what do i have to use to remove this leftovers ? Can i just sand it off , with a 1500 grid sandpaper ?

Maciej BellosHave you tried to spray the varnish again at the problematic spots?
7 January 2019, 19:02
Ronny VerlaekHey Maciej , No ... i dont want to do this , when the spots are not gone after varnish then i have even bigger problems .. 😉 I will try it when nothing else will work ...
7 January 2019, 19:21
Donald Dickson IIWow, I have never seen decal solution do that. I think about your only choice if all that didnt work is indeed very careful sanding with 1500.

Ronny VerlaekOK , i'm verry happy today, Maciej i used a polish sponge, green side first and the white spots dissapeard after 15 minutes off polishing, after the varnish coat, no more white spots to see ... Pfooeee ... lucky me ... 🙂 Tomorrow i wil varnish the underside and then i will start the wheatering .... lessons learned , after decals i will clean the residue after 5 minutes the decals are on ...

Ronny VerlaekHey Bryn, Spanjaard , Yes yes , its now a verry slow process to finish this bird, i'm verry happy that i solved this problem with the residue from this decal solution. The ENGINE is now on the desk and its 60% done. Ready for the next varnish layer and some further wheathering.
