Centurion Project Part 9 Cosmic Explorer Fin Decals




The edges can be trimmed off with a new razor blade.
Use a light touch, just enough to cut the decal film and not into the fin.


The trimmed fin decals leading edge is at the top.

The inset picture shows the trailing edge.
All the decals got a sealing with some Future applied with a Q-Tip.

Dip the Q-Tip into the Future, dab off the excess on a paper towel and apply over the decals concentrating on the edges.
If your finish is good and very glossy, applying Future over the entire model isn't needed. I only apply it over decals that might crack and lift.

When the Future is applied you can see the decal "seat" better on the painted surface. The red color looks richer after the seal coat.

I know - many builders have great results brushing Future over the entire model. That doesn't work well for me.
