Carlos Cisneros АвторI'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will be… I have two sets just in case 🫰🏼

JohnGood deal. Monogram's decals are pretty thick but the upside is they don't disintegrate as easily.

Carlos Cisneros АвторExactly. I used some of the original decals on the Monogram Flak Bait that I built many years ago from an original issue white box kit, and they worked just fine.

JohnI've got the 1977 B-29 decals and they look pretty good. Now if I can just summon the mojo to attempt a metal finish on the beast....

Carlos Cisneros АвторI hear ya. I'm trying out some new paints here for NMF. Looking for what might work better on all the lots that need it in my stash.

JohnThat turned out fantastic! 👍 👍 I think 23 years in the stash is just getting aged properly.

Carlos Cisneros АвторJohn & Rui, thank you for your kind words.
23 years was good seasoning for this one 😉
Rui, I am quite jazzed at how well the final shine turned out.

tyuVery nice finish, very glossy as the real thing. One remark: Blue Angels hornets had their gun removed and the openings for it were closed off. See: [img1]

Carlos Cisneros АвторNeuling & tyu, thank you for looking in and your comments.
tyu, so I see in that photo. Too bad that tidbit of information is after completion of this build… ah well, too late now.

Andreas LuxI am fascinated how you conjured up a shining bird from the old kit! Very very nice glossy finish!

Carlos Cisneros АвторThank you Andreas. It was strictly the paint. I used Humbrol enamel, thinned with Testors Universal Enamel Airbrush Thinner. That is the shiniest paint job that I've ever achieved. Zero orange peel effect or polishing needed. I did do a gloss clear coat after the decal were on, just to seal them in and give a uniform finish, since the decals themselves were semi gloss in finish on their own.
