So 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?

It 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.

How 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
![](/profiles/img/103989-963-s.jpg)
Thanks 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
![](/profiles/img/18422-782-s.jpg)
Ok. 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
![](/profiles/img/103989-963-s.jpg)
Thanks Bogicevic! I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll try the lacquer thinner technique. I love this site!
30 August, 11:26
![](/profiles/img/110025-775-s.png)
Where 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
![](/profiles/img/103989-963-s.jpg)
Thanks 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
![](/profiles/img/18422-782-s.jpg)
Well, 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
![](/profiles/img/118183-835-s.jpg)
All'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
![](/profiles/img/103989-963-s.jpg)
As 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!

Thanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍

Thanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Good to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍

Love the idea of filling with acrylic, never thought about it. Does it hold well though time?
26 August, 13:14
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Hi, Yes lve used it alot and holds up really well , l find the fillers a bit messy and more trouble than it's worth on small gaps.
You do need to allow overnight drying with it for best sanding results.
😀👍
26 August, 13:42
![](/profiles/img/103989-963-s.jpg)
Brilliant! The putty really can create a mess with finely molded details
26 August, 15:01
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Yes it has a habit of filling in panel lines n bits not necessary!!
This technique is same as using alot of paint to fill a gap or high build primer ect...just becomes part of the paint layer as it acrylic too.
But it's not for big gaps!! As there is a bit of shrinking overnight.
Be onto marking rivets next step after sanding... Then need to make choices on open or closed canopy???

Thanks Mike 👋😀👍.
Ive got the canopy on now, HB do nice clear glass, so I'm having a closed cockpit,
So bit of masking to do there next.
Ive got X2 builds on the go at min.
All the best 👍👍

I got to get myself a chrome pen. The result on those details look awesome
4 September, 09:53
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Thanks Miguel, the pen needs a good shake prior to use , if it awkward area you can pump some out n use brush...but work fast.
Best to put a clear over next day as it's bit delicate.

Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.

Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch
31 July, 20:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.
1 August, 18:44
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.
8 August, 20:53
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.
13 August, 16:03

Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁
13 August, 20:47

Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.
16 August, 17:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.
17 August, 17:20

Thanks Dutch! Today I masked off the areas for the gloss black. The tan colored areas are quite small, but they're everywhere. Tamiya tape stock is going up!!
26 August, 17:32
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well my gloss black was solidified, so flat black will have to do. Hopefully it will all even out when the clear is applied
28 August, 00:20

Thanks Jennifer and Villiers!
Work continues on masking these tiny sections.
30 August, 16:13
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well that was a whole bunch of masking for some very tiny pixels… I also added a coat of Future to help with the panel lining effort to come.
3 September, 23:57
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Today has seen the underside color selected and applied (Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue) along with masking/painting the cowl colors using Steel & Red.
4 September, 13:58
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
I'm using both AK & Mig panel wash. For the bottom I used Grey-Blue and for the top I haven't decided whether I'll use a dark brown or black wash. Of course for the black areas I'll use the Stone Grey wash which I think is Mig.

Thanks Dutch! Today I completed painting the canopy framing and the wheels. Also my clear gloss arrived in the mail today, so I'll be able to apply that to the entire aircraft. After that I only need to paint the anti-glare panel on the upper cowl. Nearing the finish line.

Hello Guy,
You may try fishing wire "UNI-Caenis 20 Den Black" for your next antennas wire : it is like spandex, has some elasticity, and doesn't need to be stretched so mast doesn't bend.
It is also very convincing for 1/72 : i can't see it if i don't wear my glasses...
Fine work !
