. . . if I haven't filled in the panel lines on the wings those roundels might have given me a real headache!. . .


. . . my green camouflage areas also look wiggly and strange.




Wow, you build fast! lol

I think it would have been easier to just mask and spray those roundels on rather than struggling with the decals, but all's well that ends well. Oh, and I think the green camouflage areas look fine.

Congrats;

That's a fantastic build, Emre! Congrats on your British Mustang. Hope mine will look half as good as yours next year.
For balky decals I normaly use Tensol softener from Agama or - for harder cases - Hypersol, also from Agama. But that can easily destroy the decal if I'm not carefull enough .....
If the decal doesn't lay in the panel lines I use a "modelling knife". It's not sharp, so I can't cut the decal but it's strong enough that the decal does what I want. I've got my knife at an expo, but you could ask your dentist. Maybe he has such "torture instrument".

Happy modelling!
Torsten

Thanks Diego, Automaton and Torsten!

Well, I build fast, because I had to create a new system after getting married. My wife goes to work 2 hours before I go, so I get up together with her and have 2 hours in the morning. So what do you think I do for that 2 hours?

Torsten, I also use a knife to cut and feed the decals into the panel lines and I also did it on this model, but still these decals are really thick.
