jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 21-Sep-14 06:56 | | Views : 965 | Decaling is finished, next is a coat of Testors Dullcoat. |
jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 21-Sep-14 06:53 | | Views : 942 | The Azur provided decals are very delicate and slide off the paper faster than any decals I've ever worked with, emerse them in water for seconds not minutes. They also stick very quickly so place them carefully when sliding off the wet paper. The rudder decal is a bit short so there must be some red touch up. |
