March 29, 2025So since I took those earlier photos 3 years ago I pulled it out today for a clean and some more pics. I noticed it seems to have developed some mould and dirt. I cleaned it off but some dirt seems to remain under the decals. Most are original Hasegawa decals, some Fujimi and some Superscale. It doesn't seem to matter which brand as they are all affected and others from the same brand are clear. Wierd. Must have been something in the water....7

March 29, 2025Close up of Fujimi and superscale decals.9
March 29, 2025Navy is hasegawa decal.10
March 29, 2025This is even weirder. The clear coat has developed hard spots. The earlier photos were taken when the model was about 16 years old. They were fine for 16years. 3 years later all this turns up?11
March 29, 2025Even spots from the mould are on the inside of the fins where there are no decals. The clear was Klear/Future floor polish and Humbrol satin clear from the glass bottle.

March 29, 2025Navy is Hasegawa, 160386 is Fujimi and beware of blast is superscale13
March 29, 2025Any ideas anyone?
I think I'll try to strip the model of decals and give it a repaint.
