I couldn't quite get the white numbers to work... since my homemade decals were a bust. But close enough I think.

looks nice, pity the silvering of the numbers. if it were 1/72 you could create a mask and airbrush them, but in 1/72 they are probably to small. there is people making really good tiny masks using those cutting machines (home.cricut.com/ and others)

Greg, nice work on an older kit. You could try poking some very small holes were it has silvered and use some setting solution. I use Microscale Micro Set and Micro Sol. In the Red and Blue bottles. I have done this in the pass and it helps. There may be orther companies that make setting solution in your area.

i did resolve once a really bad silvering case with lacker solvent, but i doubt i will date dare again. it was really close to a total disaster. the risk of completely ruining the model is too high.....
