FWIW, I have never had problems with acrylics, Solvaset nor Future in any form. Sure, some decals don't take well with Future, but I have never had a problem with the Future/underlying stuff/Solvaset yet.

Message-ID: Tom said: >> With Solvaset, there are moments where I see >> the Future cloud, but once the Solvaset has done its job, the Future is back >> to being glossy. That's what I've observed as well. Sometimes when treated with other medias Future starts to be cloudy and white. But later it always returns to the clear form. On the other hand Microsol and Aerosol are perfect thinners for Future and thus decal solution usage should be done with extreme care. You may pour Xxxxsol onto Future without causing damages but I wouldn't tear the surface until dried. BTW. My most recent decal setting method is to lay decal onto wet surface moisted with mixture of Aerosol and Future. Aerosol ingredient causes better decal fitting to the irregular surface while Future ingredient provides decal with extreme adhesion. This method gives me at least two advantages: - ultimate lack of silvering, - perfect adhesion. After applying lozenge using this method I could treat decal with sandpaper to remove imperfections and it behaved like an integral layer of a plastic part. Later I even used vinyl masks over it and the decal hasn't been lifted at all.

It covers several of the perceived errors and I trying the recommended corrections to all of them. I don't know if these are all the known errors in the kit. Perhaps more knowledgeable List members can advise. Be ready to perform major surgery (at least for me anyhow) on the fuselage. The rest is pretty straight forward.

DB Hi David, Sounds good to me. My wife wants to go to Chicago too, so that oughta cinch it. I've got another 1/28 D.VII in the closet - - in case I butchered the first one too much and needed a backup (I'm beginning to sound like someone else earlier today - - needing two kits to build one). I think I'm over the main hurdles with this one though and can do something else with the second one. I understand that accurate info on Udet's machine is sadly lacking. Is this a case of "Dicta Ira" and follow you fancy?

The Fokker D.VII anthologies are helpful, as (IIRC Vol.2) has a write-up on Udet's D.VII, and the question of the chevrons on the tail and fuselage. However, I will probably do it in the commonly-accepted style of red and white upper-wing, Loz for the lower wing, red fuselage and white chevrons, although how far up the turtle deck they go is another matter. Which version of Stark's A/C are you doing? I like the final version of 'Li' with the lilac band and all, but I may do the second incarnation. The great thing about the 1/28 scale kit is that since it is so big, modifications are easy to do. Also, markings are so big that they can be easily replicated with masks and airbrushing. So I'll probably pick up a few more of them! DB ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 2505 **********************
