Hi

I am building the old tamiya 1/35 Stug IV tank. I ran into trouble
with the decals peeling off the model the following day. After some
advice I decided to dip a brush in future and apply to the decals.
It did work, after 2 days the decals are nicely placed on the model. I
sprayed some dull cote from testors thinking it would hide the future
afterwards but it didn't.
What shall I do? More dull cote coats?

Thanks a lot

Patrick

i future on top of the decals first. let dry overnite and
dull cote does it. may not be too late.

I find it's best to future the entire model,so there are no
differences in reflectivity.If I'm being lazy and only future in the
decal area,I use a flat coat made of future with tamiya flat base
which seems to work better in hiding it.

Thanks a lot guys!
I usually future the whole model, then apply the decals, then seal the
decals with more future, then dull cote. But this time had a problem
when the decals peeled off.
I think I will apply more dull cote.

Thanks

Patrick
