Lovely little build, I had the same issue with the decals & found using very warm water helped a lot to soften them as well as a lot of micro sol. 👏🇬🇧

I'm "glad" you had trouble with the day-glow decals because I had exactly the same problem. I now know it wasn't anything I was doing wrong. Mine didn't survive and I gave-up making that scheme. One thing I'd say too is don't waste money on "clear fix" when you can use any pva/white glue, which dries clear. I uses Bostic "White Glue" for cockpits.

This build illustrated the way Airfix has put effort into making kits go together. Eg the pins on the front cockpit bulkhead rather than in the old days a groove in the fuselage sides and tab A into slot B wings and elevators.

Very nice job! Did you use any type of decal softener/setting solution? I personally use micro sol and micro set, and they are a big help especially with bigger decals that have to conform to curves and panel lines. I bought myself this provost kit earlier in the year because I have an older version of the provost I want to refurbish using one of the decal options in this kit, so at some point in the future I'll be tackling those day Glo decals!
@ModellingWeekly
@ModellingWeekly 5 жыл бұрын
I used decalfix from airfix, but something more powerful like Micro sol/set would be ideal. People Are saying to use really hot water to soften them, but I just think too many things could go wrong.. You do what seems best, and good luck!

Hah, I bough a Vampire kit from airfix and they had similar terribly designed decals for the edges and stuff, I just ended up masking and painting. Took about 3 full days of masking and painting but looks better than the decals would've and i bet was easier

The "day glow" color has nothing to do with the quality of the decals. Some are very good and conform perfectly to the model. It's the manufacturer. In this case, they did not do a good job. The carrier film is too thick, too tough. It's not Airfix's fault. Humbrol Decal Fix is fairly strong stuff, but there are more agressive ones. Solva Set and Daco Strong are also quite good. Did you soak the decals in Humbrol Decal Fix for a couple of minutes ? Do not wet them with water, only with Decal Fix. Do NOT forget to clean up the residue !! Decal Fix leaves a residue that becomes hard and glossy, and is very difficult to remove, once completely dry !! And never put a model with fluorescent colors in direct sunlight or near a powerful light source, or even a window, as these colors can fade fairly quickly, and repair is next to impossible. Keep such models in the shade, always.

Why almost none of the model builders know a thing about making videos? For example about focus, depth of field and so on? Most of your video (as almost all of the modeling videos) is out of focus. (Should be better to turn off auto focus at all.)

Very nicely done! Nice little kit BUT Airfix should have pointed out in the instructions to use HOT water for the glo decals and tons of softener. I also had to buy again the kit to replace 2-3 glo decals that broke while trying to make them to conform around the leading edge.
