What a cool build Chris. You know I'm having an old guy meltdown with all these kits from my childhood. I'll have to buy them all. lol. Too bad the price isn't $1.98 like it was when I was a kid. I wasn't too keen on some tank models because as a kid I looked at the kits to see if I had to glue all those tread pieces together and with a lot of small wheels looked too complicated. I liked this kit and you did a much better job on it as I did when I was a kid. Wonderful.

A bit of advice;for aftermarket decals,that are of poor quality.Lightly mist Testors dullcote over the entire decal sheet,and let it dry for 30 minutes.Then mist over it again; with a slightly heavier coat,of Testors dullcote.When dry;it should retain it's shape,and not fall apart;and disintegrate.Test this technique;on spare decals,of poor quality first;to be sure the dullcote will work.If the decals,still fall apart;and disintegrate;after using the dullcote technique,then Testors decal film spray/decal sealer will work.The dullcote technique;for brittle decals,came from the tips and suggestions section;of the latest issue,of Fine Scale Modeler Magazine;for the month of November 2019.

@johnashley-smith49874 жыл бұрын
Glosscote works as well. I have used it to prevent 40 year old decals fracturing. Also, if your vintage decals have yellowed, you can bleach them by sealing them in a zip-loc baggie, and tape them to a window that gets a lot of sun. I can vouch from experience, this works, along with the glosscote of course!

Great job! An idea...the tiger motif, the front and numbers, would have been painted in the field, by Corporal Andy Army. The star on the turret, as well as the other official Army applied logos look professional, while the stuff Andy Army painted, at the behest of his tank commander, Lieutenant Doofan Shmurch, are, well, amateur looking. Oila, crappy decal problem solved with in world explanation. You intentionally made them look that way. Ssshhhh, I won't tell, lol.
