Thanks… I don’t have any bleeding problems with pencil; I can’t imagine why it would since graphite is insoluble to most stuff?!

Looks great. One quesion though.:?: When you did the pannelines using a pencil did you have any problems or bleeding after applying clearcoats and decals? Thanks for your time and look forward to seeing your next SCI-FI kit 😉

Dude I know all these 🙂 I was reading Hyperscale and some people claimed that they can do away with these decal solvents using just Future alone, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Perhaps I haven’t mastered the technique, it didn’t “tuck in” the decals too well as the decal solvents, so I turned to Super Sol. But it was a bad idea, I think the Sol wrinkled the decals but the Future coat prevented the unwrinkling. Or at least that’s what I thought happened.

Future isn’t really a ‘solvent’ for decals but it provides a very smooth glossy finish so that there is less chance of the decal ‘silvering’ due to air being trapped between the decal and the surface. Also my understanding is that Super Sold will cause the decals to wrinkle initially but they’re supposed to flatten out after a while when it all dries. haven’t used it so I’m not speaking from experience. Bird turned out pretty sweet tho!
