I've built a few of those Schumo MG kits. Made out of nickel silver, I believe..tough stuff. Maybe stencils for those markings over Zimmerit? Great Build. Happy to have followed along!

Thanks Painless, after using Mr mark setter and mark softer to get some very large thick decals to lay down in deep panel lines on another kit I will give that a go first, they make Tamiya mark fit strong seem as effective as chicken broth in comparison.

Hey Ian, that is a nice finish :thumbup:
You mentioned the degradation of the decals. You could easily fix the appearance with a bit of thinned down Matt paint in the needed color, applied with a brush. Helps to improve the look a lot on any decal.

Thanks Soren, yes I have done that in the past, I may touch them up if it bothers me, but when it's on the ground running you are hard pressed to see the tiny cracks.
