Tamiya Model
when is the best time to use decal set or decal softener on models?
im the guy with all those tamiya models and I have some good results and bad results with these two items. Are they even worth using or am I not using them correctly.
I personally don't use them. I just apply the decals, then 24-48 hours later I put a finish on. This is gonna sound crazy, but I use a floor finish called Future Floor Finish on my model planes. I water it down and apply it with an airbrush. It makes my models shine, but doesn't look good on the canoppies. I would cover clear parts like that with painters tape or something. Anyway, to better answer your question, just do some research on google to find out when/how to use those products. There are some really helpful sites out there filled with advice from professional modelers. Good luck with the decals, they are the hardest part (i think so).
