Thank you for your supportive and kind words! It was the first time I've tackled an Anigrand model kit and I had some issues with the decals. I tried almost all the tricks i know to get them to look ok (Micro sol and Mr. Decal softener does almost nothing to them, heat helped a but and a tiny amount of lacquer thinner also helped). Anybody has other tricks to help with their decals?
Cheers

Turned out very good! Nice to see one of these finished. As for your decal problems: did you try vinegar? (I suggest to thin it with water first, say 50:50) If not, you can try more, but be careful.

Thanks for the tip Benoit. I do not know if it will work because as far as I know, Micro Set decal solution is basically a solution of Acetic Acid (which is, after water, the main component of vinegar). I may try with higher concentrations of Acetic Acid. Thanks
