Bandai Star Wars model kits discussion and review.

I discovered the micro-set and micro-sol solutions...night and day difference. There’s still one problem area...

I don’t see how I’m supposed to apply a decal onto the laser canon poles. The small strip decals will be fine but then there are some larger, rectangular decals that are supposed to be wrapped around the poles.

Imagine a decal the size of a postage stamp that needs to be applied around a toothpick...getting it to stick will be one thing, then keeping it from tearing will be another. What are some strategies to follow here?

 

can u take a pic of it and post it here? if the decals are the right size it should work fine.!i put a checkered decal around the nose cowling of P-47Thunderbolt fighter that gave me fits then lined up perfectly

the white part around the cowl is painted, the black checkers were a decal

 

I can understand the checker decal in yours but mines much more narrow lengthwise. Take a look...the silver rectangle is supposed to be wrapped around the indented portion of the black pole. It’s pretty much lined up right where it’s going.

I feel like I must be missing something because this looks super difficult...

 

Anyone know of a way to purchase extra decal sheets? I know Bandai/Bluefin will replace defective sheets (which I’ve already done...twice) but it takes 6 weeks. Pretty sure they do that on purpose to discourage anyone from taking advantage of the system, which is totally understandable.

Looking for the water slides from the Poe X-Wing kit...

 

OK don't take this the wrong way, but, are those decals just to add gray color to that part of the S-Foil? Any reason why you couldn't just match that shade and paint them?
