As I said elsewhere, nice.What is the issue with the decals?
Fragile to the point they almost tear themselves apart.They curl up so easily that you WILL damage them getting them flat.You need to cut them to the exact shape so you cannot hold them as you apply them.Extremely difficult to release from backing paper. And for the size of the sheet they're bloody expensive.
Micro-sol, Micro-set decal softener, decal adhesive thing. Maybe using those would help?Maybe you just got a bad batch?
Very nice model, I’ve used milicast 1/76 decals on 1/72 tanks and they are fine, they come with both Hungarian and Romanian on the same sheet, with a good selection of decals, roundels, crosses, number plates, unit markings etc
Very nice job, it really looks the business. Knowing next to nothing about the Romanians in World War Two (though my father has told me countless times that he knew King Michael, who was a customer of his), that red turret is very interesting. Was that a common thing with their tanks?
its just supposed to represent a replacement turret still in red primer.the skirting is a sort of vain hope by the crew in covering it up until they get time to fix the colour.
Decals: Company B Romanian crosses:...Absolute garbage...trash...avoid at all costs.If anyone has good UK accessible recommended alternatives in 72nd, 56th and 48th scale please do let me know.
Interesting. Is that an actual real world example, or one you made up for the model? because it seems to me that slapping on a coat of paint, or even covering the turret with a tarp would be a lot quicker than attaching an entire skirt...
There are these. You will need to scroll down to MI-110 for Romanian (and Hungarian). There are two sets.http://www.minibits.net/i-94-decals/miscellaneous/The decals are robust, but need careful trimming as the ones I used are printed as a sheet rather than individual elements.
Is that the new re-issued Kit?
