    I feel your frustration. I don't think microsol is going to work if you have lacquer on it as it needs to penetrate the decal to soften it. I am not an experienced aviation modeller and I don't know what may have caused that issue, but I do hope you find a solution as it's looking great. Best of luck with it.

    Thank you for having a look  - much appreciated.

  2. Hi all,    I spent a bit of time on mossie to day,  the rear stab was nice and dry  so I gave it a few watery coats of Acrylic  grey  by brush - all good, I then took off the masking  and noticed the main decal on the one side had  crackled,   the trouble is  there is a  coat of  laquer  flat coat  that was sprayed over the top,   would micro sol  work on  it  to smooth it out  even though there is a coat of laquer over the top of it.

     

    Looks quite bad  and spoils what has turned out to be a  good finish.

  3. Evening all.   some good progress today  -  first  I  worked on the stabs,  they needed a bit of scribing   then they were glued in place, next was the rudder  - not much fuss  just glued straight on,   next  I worked on the cockpit glazing  this was masked using tamiya tape, I placed a larger than needed piece onto glazing then cut away the excess, after completing the nose glazing and rear section  they were then glued down.

     

    Here are a few pics also showing my other spit  (that wanted to get in on the photo shoot).
