Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2023 I placed this decal on my Val literally last minute, and guess what? How bloody embarrassing is this….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Ah i see it now , they spelt sushi rolls incorrectly, damn those IJN aircrew menus I’m guessing its upside down but I doubt any non Japanese reader would notice 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Unless a judge was fluent in Japanese, I bet no one caught it. I sure as hell wouldn’t. But there you have it. Time to strip it back down to bare plastic and start over. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I could barely make out the silvering. But now that you pointed it out…. Im thinking a Dewalt 4.5” grinder with a flap disc would do the trick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, if you’re competing at a Nationals level, that simple little bit of silvering will sink you badly. It sucks, but it’s life. And what sucks even more is that I DON’T get silvered decals. Ever. Until now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I have a love/hate relationship with decals. Usually they go wrong for me which is why I prefer to use masks for as much as possible. And yet, when I don't have a choice they work out. Most of the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlubber Mike Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Can you lightly feather some paint on? With all the straight lines on the decal, I'd consider trying that before more extreme measures. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
