Murphy’s Law

I could not wait.

I had a late night session and one decal caused me some headache.

The decal was torn off the backing paper even after a lot of soaking in warm water.

Learning curve they say…

I then applied the other insignia and the serial numbers more carefully.

That was enough emotions for a late night session.

See you tomorrow morning…

Applying 20 year-old decals

The only missing parts on the Black Widow are the radar antennae. They will be glued last to avoid breakage.

Enjoy these before the decals are applied.

Decals add a finishing touch to a build. Using 20 year-old decals might be a problem.

The first decal was soaked for a minute and nothing happened. I had to use my neuro surgeon skills to work it out.

With this experience I decided to wait and see the final result before proceeding with the other decals and studying closely the instructions sheet.
