Thanks. I appreciate it. Here's a couple more.
By the way, anyone know exactly how to apply decals and conceal that they are indeed decals? I applied decals and dull coated on the Hanomag(haven't dull coated the panzer yet), but the decals still stand out. They're just no longer shiny. Makes me glad I didn't start with the Tiger.

you need to gloss coat the area where the decal is to be applied, so you have a smooth, shiney surface. Then apply decals with Microset, which softens them and makes them adhere tightlly to the suface.
Then when you spray flat finish over top the 'silvering' which is what is making the decals stand out, should be all but gone.

Awesome! Thanks a lot.
So when you apply decals with microset, is that brushed on before you apply them, or after it's placed on the surface?
