My english is not very good, so it´not really easy to show you how i do this. I hope the pictures will help.<u>
Part1</u>
Befor i color a modell, i sand all parts, mostly times i do this when i build it. Sandpapier, Sandingblock or sanding fleece material 240-400
After sanding, i clean the parts with alcohol(75%-100% for all parts ), or nitro( only metallparts ). The modell must be free, of grease, dirt and settled dust
now, i brush the basic colour ( at this fall Tamiya XF 57 )
after this step was doing, i will remake the decals with coreldraw and print this out at regulary papier. than i cut this out.
i fixed this with tape, than i brush this again
if the decals are not ok, i restart with basiccolor ( just sanding and brush again )
if its ok, i take mate varnish over all
