I apologize if this is a common probelm/quesiton but I was hoping for some advice. Im building a 1/35 ICM T-35 tank, and the decals look kinda odd. Maybe its just since all Ive built previously is top notch stuff like DML and Tamiya, but the paper is yellowed and looks kidnda dry and stuff. The decals consist of a couple red stars, a bunch of stripes, some dotted lines/stripes and a couple other less important parts. So is there anything I should know? Unfortunately my budget is low so Im not able to buy extra products that might help. Thanks in advance! Ian
If they are yellowed, tape them in a window that has full sun, facing the sun. A week or two and the yellow should get bleached out. The other problem will eb the decals can get very brittle. When you soak 'em that break up like dropping a sheet of glass on the floor. There are coatings you can buy but if oyu on a limited budget tyat may not be an option. If you happen to have a spary can of clear urethane, I have heard that works well as an over coat as well.
