I use both Micro Set and Micro Sol. I also use, for place with lots of recessed and raised details (like the yellow circles on the side of the engines), solvaset. This stuff is really strong. I never had any problems with Tamiya, Dragons, Italeiri... Never tried Hasegawa with that. As for the "no step" decals, I don't have any 1:72nd scale aircraft lying around... a lot of 1:35th tanks tho! But that won't help!

Thanks Grayson, I'll give that a try. And Berttt, the only number to be found on the decal sheet is the number of the kit, which is 65769. Hope this help, Chris

Hello to all, I'm a newcomer here. I have always liked building plastic models, I have always liked Macross, but until this day, I've never built a single Macross model, just military vehicules! I started building this nice VF-1D from Hasegawa, depicting the version of the wedding of Max and Millia episodes. The building of it had a few mistakes here and there but nothing that couldn't be repaired! As for the painting, everything went well up until the gloss coat... which turned out to be grainy! No problem, lightly sand it... respraying the base coat... the gloss coat too and all was fine! I even took pictures of it that I wnated to share with you all... not anymore! ...and now the nightmare begins... I've never had any problems with decalling a kit! Up until now! Some of the decals were reacting badly to setting solutions! I even had to take some from another kit. But now... some of the decals are ruined... and I can,t save the kit at all! My dilema is simple! Do I scrap the kit? Do I strip the decals and repaint it as another version? I prefer the later but, and that is where you guys come out of the dark... I need a brand new decal sheet! Any ideas where I can get one? Maybe one of you guys have one lying around I could buy that won't see any use but could really help me out? I basically need all the little "no step" decals and the like. I'm open to suggestion... And I hope to be able to show you some of my work soon... Christian maheu

Very nice job! I'm in the process of building the "D" version as well but the one from the wedding episode! I might put some pics up later. Keep it up, Chris
