Give it another coat or brush the ugly bits out. An easy fix I would think Ken.

Well i got some decal paper delivered today and here is the result of the first attempt

you cant really see from the photo but first prob is the decal is see through and the paint colour underneath shows through, which would probably be ok if the plane were all one colour but its not, so anyone got any ideas how to get round this.

I think the problem of the red bleeding through, could be because it will be thicker in the scribe lines and may have needed to cure longer than the flat surfaces.

Many reds, and some deep blues, take longer to cure because of the pigments used in them.

Push a toothpick into the areas that have bled to see if it leaves any marks. If it does then it still hasn't cured fully yet.

Or try a dark pinwash in the these areas to pick out the scribed lines.

As regards the transfers, have you any more you can double up with to obscure the colours beneath!

Just an idea.

Hi all tried rescribing the panel lines (which were almost non exsistant) and had my first go at a pin wash

It's coming along well Ken. Pin washes are quite satisfying aren't they? Watching that liquid do it's thing inside the recessed lines.

I like it Ken, although I wouldn't practise painting on your leg...

Does look good though, nice colour scheme too.
