Ok today's update. Decals for the pony during the week. So I started and finished in mostly agony but I'll see her through. First course went down fine with little trouble...

....then came the leading yellow strips on the front edge of the wings.

Yeah, it basically would not bend to the contour of the front of the wing and started tearing. I didn't even bother with the second one as I felt going into this build that decals wrapping around curves like that usually don't survive. At least not this set since according to the box was produced in 1993. But I assumed all along that I would be AB these stripes in sooner or later.

So now shes all taped up!

Bee Gees - Tragedy

Last night I AB Future over the decals to seal them in and the only thing I can see is that I didn't build it up enough on that wing. I could swear I layered on enough to do the trick. Anyway as you can see the Tamiya masking tape pulled off the decal in a mass disaster. So now my plan is to clean up the area and re-apply my clear coat, let that cure, mask then AB the effected black stripes first, then do the same for the white stripes to bring the bottom back to life. I already have a headache thinking about the damaged roundel. Is that Insignia Blue? Anybody know this color? Looks like Navy Blue to me.

I can fix this but it's definitely going to push completion back perhaps an additional week. Dang I could smell the roses and see the light at the end of the tunnel with this one. Chris S I was so looking forward to possibly do a pin wash, in your manner, for the panel lines on Sunday at some point.

Like I said....I'll see her through.
