Prior to applying any decals, I gloss varnishes the whole model with a diluted Klear (Future) mix which was ghosted on with my Paasche H model airbrush.
The decals were a selection of items from my ever-dwindling supply. There are decals from Games Workshop, aircraft decals and even a few from a racing car model. They were all applied with Microset decal solution and went on without issue although the decaling did take some time.
I think the application of decals has helped to 'liven-up' the model and give it a more 'realistic' appearance. I still need to add the canopy (which is soaking in a bath of Klear floor polish) and the driver.
The next post should be along soon, for now stay safe and
Keep Calm and Carry On Modelling.

Lovely colour on that blue, and I agree, the decals really lift it. Looking forward to seeing this one finished. I hope you used a ton of 'No Step' decals as the body on those was essentially a carbonate shell.
