has the crazing on decals happend to anyone else when they have used ak gauzy agent?? if so did it happen with tamiya decals or with mr mark softner? thanks for any answers on this because its got me stumped why the decals crazed
yes of course you can you will need to brush paint it if you want to paint it but tamiya do make the kits plastic different colours so you could just build it and then apply the decals
You did a good job assembling this kit, thank you for sharing it 🙂 These decals require a clear gloss coat (Varnish preferably) and the use of Micro Set along with Micro Sol with a final coat of clear at the end. Not bad for an old kit uh? 😊
@@yorkshiremanmodels You can sand the surface with fine grit paper after a couple coat of clear varnish until the carrier film disappears, then polish it with Tamiya compounds. Decals will look like painted on.
have you tried using tamiya extra thin cement as thats the glue i use makes all the fiddly bits so much easier to place and stick down compared too revell contacta
I use tamiya extra thin on nearly all my builds I use revel contacts mostly on painted parts because tamiya thin doesn't work very well with painted parts
@@yorkshiremanmodels ahhhh ive never really had a problem with gluing painted which is why i asked everyone has a different experience from what ive seen
@@crypticpeel1158 i think we all find our prefered methods to building and painting and in my view none are wrong as long as you the model builder are happy
@@yorkshiremanmodels definitely happy ive done some entry levels and i wanna get 4 models ive seen of my dream car in different varieties and everyone has a different experience with different things
I've just completed the new italeri bmw gr5 kit,and sealed in decals with tamiya ts 13.Thin coats first.No crazing,but all the fruit of the loom decals faded????all other decals are great.weird.
Think the crazing must have been due to using too much Mr mark softener because it hasnt happened since Not had it where a decal colour faded like that
Yes..I'm puzzled.I used my usual micro sol products,in small amounts.This has never happened before.Its just unusual that only the one type of sponsor decal was effected, to the point where reds went light pink.??
Looking at the carrier film, the crazing is because of this carrier material. Tamiya decals require several clear coats and then a good sanding thereafter to wick away the carrier film "bump". This is the single biggest downfall for Tamiya kits.

Hello sir ! I wanna ask. Can i build a tamiya car without spray paint ?
yes of course you can
you will need to brush paint it if you want to paint it but tamiya do make the kits plastic different colours so you could just build it and then apply the decals
Great kit👍
Thanks

Used to use micro set but have recently swapped to Mr mark setter
The Micro Sol to help the decals really conform to the surface is a good option following the Micro Set. Will follow 🙂@@yorkshiremanmodels
