I think this time they will be ok , i used Micro set.

Hopefully they will survive the gloss clear this time, i will give them a day or two first

As my build habit is to work it spurts and then let things set, I usually place the decals and wait several days doing something else. I also do that with the Alclad paints. The gloss black goes on then immediately a wet mist of Mr Gloss Thinner Retarder that allows the Gloss to smooth and level out. The trick there is to wet it enough to let the surface flow level, and to work along so it all blends smooth. It's actually quite easy with a little forethought. Then I cover it and let it set for a couple of days.

Agree Paul, thats why i am doing the tank now, i wanted to get the gloss coat on before i get on with other bits.
Its a funny little model, OTB everything is crooked or has a problem but they are mostly easy fixes but there is a lot of work for such a simple kit.
