Never seen a model kit get a waxing job before! Did you try wetting the decals before resorting to exfoliating them?

Bas Tonn
I didn't try the wetting technics, just the quick and dirty tape method. The decals were old, and just applied a day before, so I tried.

Pure vintage, what a trip down the memory lane. 👍 Is that the original stand?

Nice Build, Bas. The diorama looks very impressive. Congratulations!

Lukasz, yes, it's the original stand. The kit shows it's age, but that's ok.
It was a fun built, and I will do my best on another Spitfire soon 😉

Album info

The V1 is done for now, maybe I'll do some touch ups in the next weeks.
The Spitfire has been assembled for the most part, and a few layers of paint are on.

After applying the first decals, I found them far to purple, so I googled "how to remove decals". Witch worked more or less ok.
But it will take me at least four weeks to repair
