Something 1/72 scale, yellow and free from Heller

That looks like it could be something I described in this thread earlier this year. Like you say, not a problem if you’re going to put a different colour of paint over it anyway. A lot of trouble on something that should be white, though.

It looks exactly like your earlier example Jakko.
Since the model will be sprayed yellow and red it won't be an issue. It's not something I've ever had happen before...at least, not that I remember

It's yellow again, though a slightly more muted shade than the original plastic.



I'll have to do some post shading I suppose, and then spray the walkways in an effort to keep decaling down to those I really have to use.

Cheers

Don’t worry, it will become less muted when you add the semigloss varnish to replicate the real thing’s finish

I haven't given up on this one!

I have now applied the decals. Well, I say decals, and they are in that you wet them and slide them off the backing paper and onto the model, but they are actually more like stickers without the benefit of any stickiness. They go on alright, but most of them have been stuck down with Klear varnish. They seem quite impervious to decal softeners, though I may give them another few goes before giving up.

I doesn't look terrible, but it could be a lot better.
