NeulingI like the "Matsch" 🙂 In my opinion the heavy tank could have sunk in a little bit deeper.

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?
29 August, 18:04
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.
30 August, 11:11
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!
1 September, 01:33
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 🙂

Ben MI enjoyed the discussion of fixing decal stuff as decals are always hard for me. One thing to add, I have been adding tamiya gloss clear (X-22) to my paint mixtures when I paint tanks. This gives the finish a slightly more glossy surface and I find I can do decals and pinwashes/oil washes without a separate gloss coat, and I do a flat coat after to dull the surface. I first tried this on my M3 Lee build. I should take better pics of that one. I think I got the idea indirectly from uncle nightshift (someone told me it was in one of his videos, didn't see it myself). I don't get joy from spraying endless coats of clear on models, I find it's hard to get all the nooks and crannies, so mixing the clear with the color coat makes it easier to see what I'm doing. Maybe an idea for the future.
That's a cool little Italian tank and the diorama is great as well! Thanks for sharing.

Miguel VaqueroNext proyect, this beautiful pre war plane. I've always liked this plane, so when I saw this kit fairly cheap I couldn't resist to buy it. I will make camouflage pattern, even though the book comes with two livery possibilities. This time around, the build Is going to be completely out of the box.
15 September, 16:52
Miguel VaqueroI don know what I'm going to do Ben. I love the stripes too, but I don't like the plain green camouflage. Maybe I'll combine the stripes with something different to at least use them.
15 September, 19:50
Miguel VaqueroI'm loving this kit so far. The only downside is the amount of flash, and that the fit with some of the parts is a little bit bad. Nothing that some time and love can't fix. I think so far it's turning out pretty good
21 September, 18:13
Robert PodkońskiGood job so far, Miguel. Keep it up! In fact, this type was used pre-war, during war and build in Poland (under license as CSS-13) post-war too. Here you can find some close-ups of the one kept in Herringsdorf collection:

Miguel VaqueroThank you Robert. Those are some amazing photos. The striped engine is so cool, being able to see all the parts in its glory. I'm sure I'll use those pictures for the rigging later on. Here in Spain we also have one, and flying!! They are truly wonderful pieces of history.
23 September, 16:51
Miguel VaqueroThanks Ben!
A lot of advances on the build now. I finally decided to make the box livery, and I'm not regretting It a bit, it just beautiful. All the main exterior paint is donde and decals in place. Although I'm a little bit bad with large decals, and I ended up painting the stripes with the airbrush. At the end I think its turning out lovely
23 September, 18:04
Miguel Vaquero3/4 of the model done. Only left is the upper wing and rigging. Then some minor weathering this time and I'll call it good. I'm enjoying a lot this build. The only thing Ive had problems is the flash on smaller parts, and how delicate they are when removing that flash. Also some pieces have problems with fittings but is not the norm. Overall it's a really well designed kit, with some flaws, but nothing that cant be worked around
25 September, 18:35
Miguel VaqueroThanks Gorby!
Top wing and the rigging of the controls done. In not sure if in going to do the wings rigging now, I had all the cables set up on the top wing but had to take them out, so now it's double difficult putting those in.
For now, the only thing left are the windshields and I'll call it good. Maybe in a later date I will try to set up the rigging but not right now.
15 October, 13:19
Miguel VaqueroThanks guys. Yeah someday ill do the riggin. I think what in need to do know is take my mind of this kit for a while, cause while trying the riggin i broke some pieces and at the end the result was far from what i expected. So im going to try and focus on something else and come back later for it
