P-51D back to zero

Stephan Ryll
hi mates,
I came across an issue with my vallejo paints and micro sol liquid
partly the paint came up after applying the micro sol
some of the decals got holes or broke into pieces
the surface had a layer of vallejo gloss varnish
I never had this issue before
does anybody have an idea what has caused this?
any help is welcome

Thomas Bischoff
I had this once with a red colour - Vallejo 70947.

Holger Kranich
Oh dammit, Stephan! What a pitty!!!

Stephan Ryll
oh yes, it's a pitty

any idea how to overcome the issue?

Holger Kranich
Maybe you should use another gloss or in this case ist the decals? I mean, maybe its the mixture of Vallejo, Micro and the Hasegawa decals...

Stephan Ryll
I never had this before - the vallejo gloss varnish is as hard as stone - I always use it with micro without any problem

yesterday I made a test on the other side of the plane using the revell decal soft - and it got more worth
the decals were ticked of and cracked

it seems to be something with the hasegawa decals - but I don´t know how to prevent this in the future

Holger Kranich
Try Gunze gloss or future/klear, that works quite fine for me in all eventuallitys!

Gary
Sorry about your luck with the decals. Did they come in the box?. The markings are from James Goodson's aircraft.
He authored a great book, Tumult in the Clouds. It's one of my favorites. Gary

Stephan Ryll
@ Holger - thank you - I will clean the whole bird and start the painting again - I will try the Gunze gloss

@Gary - the decals were included in the box - my bird was planned as the "Eagleton"
now I have too look which decals are left in my stock

Urban Gardini
My advice is that you get aftermarket decals for this one. Why that? Well, if this set of decals behaved like this you can count on that the rest of the decals on the sheet will behave likewise. Chances are that you can get "Eagleston" decals from an after market source.

Urban Gardini
And this set could be a good follow up build for you mate! hannants.co.uk/product/SS480902

Stephan Ryll
Thank you Urban for your advice - I'll try to get a st of those and a P-47 is already in my stash ... thanks

Urban Gardini
Yeah, get both sets from Hannants and you've them next week!

Stephan Ryll
@ Urban - order is placed - thank you for the links

Urban Gardini
No problem mate, just happy to be able to help!

Stephan Ryll
you're always welcom!

Stephan Ryll
so here we go again
I removed all the paint and decals from the surface and added a new layer of primer

Stephan Ryll
here you can find the reworked bird
