Loving that paintwork "Boy do I remember a similar colour - BR Red to be exact" when I painted that slepper carriage I told you about. OC.

Really nice work mate looking perfect with those stripes/bands. OC.

The Tamiya versions Challenger 1 and 2 are both Brilliant kits, well worth internal and super detailing Accurate Armour do some Fabulous Resin and PE update sets. OC.

Just a small update fellow followers following freely forever figuring forensic feactures, so I played with the damaged decals, I decided to weather them to give them a worn look, I did this by gently sanding with very fine watered wet and dry, I did this both sides to keep a uniform look. Pics later after I have done a few light top coats. OC.

Thanks mate, Very much appreciate and am thankful to you for searching stuff for my build, its help like this that makes this site so Special. OC.

Looking great mate, reminds me (with the colour) when I built a Desert Storm British Challenger tank. OC.
-
So, apply a couple more coats of flat over the top? OC.
-
Indeed Mark, thats what I will have to do as despite several attempts with Micro sol, the orange peel aint going know where, the top coat has sealed them in. OC.

Oh, and while I'm at it - the Seafire had her front canopy shaped a bit so as to blend in with the fuselage better. OC. -
Oh, foregot to mention the surface primer went on well, is in the box de gasing at the moment. OC.
-
I will try my best to see what the repair or part repair options are - wll see what micro sol does, then (as I assume a barrier is on the model now) I will try another flat coat over the top to see if that might help hide the wrinkles (failing that its a Good anti - wrinkle cream)😉 OC.
-
Just been down put another coat of micro sol over the decals, will try to put a few layers on leaving an hour or so between layers - just to see if it does anything. OC.
-
My suspicion is that I applied the top coat a bit too heavy on that side or perhaps it hadn't shrunk down as well due to the ridge it had to sit over, especially the end of the ridge causing an akward lump in the middle, possibly a bit of trapped air - that mde it an esy target for the top coat to loosen and craze the way it did. OC.

Thank you Roger - yep frustrating. OC.
