Oh and please dont type in all caps. it makes it seem like you are yelling

Very Nice!

Some of your decals have halos in the clear sections. If you are having problems with decal haloing, I highly recommend Mr. Softer - decal set from Gunzi. You can skip the gloss coat with this stuff, I sucks the decal so tight to the surface.

Mr. Softer has worked for me on Archer, Tamiya, and DML. It will crinkle the decal at first, but don't panic, and don't fuss with it, you might tear it. When it dries it looks like the decal was painted on. I most recently used it on my DML StuH III G with zimmerit, and the crosses look like they were painted on the hull.

The truck is great, weathering very nice BUT....Italeri's decal $uck and are way thick. You need to work them hard with setting solution. The silvered decals detract from otherwise a great build.

Rounds Complete!!
