Is that Milliput? I bought some to improve the deficiencies of a Dragon

kit ( missing details on a motorbike crankcase) . Never used it. Does it

work well?

IMG_2867.thumb.jpeg.ff4e1ca40c8e18cc7191d4789bde3feb.jpegWell that was a bust.  
First side I tried it in one piece.  Not only did it wind up with many wrinkles, but when I went to do the other side they didn’t even come close to matching up on the bottom of the cowl. 
As I was applying side one I was telling myself I could have probably done a better job just painting these on after cutting out Tamiya tape as a stencil.  
Guess which route I’m taking now?  
Besides, I did some paint touch up yesterday and 24 hours later the lacquer bubbled with hundreds of tiny bubbles in that area.   Not sure if it was the Micro Set/Sol it the Tamiya decal adhesive with softener in it.  But I do need to sand them out now.

That's a bit annoying there Scott. 

More so with the paint reaction too. I've never of clear lacquer reacting to decal solutions and I've even used Tamiya X-20A as one without paint issues. Let us know if you figure out more.
