Well I got the decals on ...I added 4 filters and glued everything together ..all that is really left to do is a thin coat of Tamiya's deck tan and a light dusting with some pigments...
The Bison decals were a charm to work with and I can really recommend them to anyone ...

I love it, especially it being the Queens Royal Lancers "The Death or Glory Boys" I've been meaning to make a Chally II of the QRL (the old 17/21st Lancers before they amalgamated with the 16th/5th) Now I've got an excuse.

I've never worked with the Microscale paper, what should I look out for or do extra whle working with them?

The only thing I found strange is that there seemed to be no reation to the decals when using micro set and sol...but it might be just that my stock is getting old ...I used Solve-a-set and everything when down great ..That solve-a-set is scary stuff ..be sure your decal is in the right place because there ain't no way you can move it after you touch it with this stuff!! As you can see the quality of the decals is top notch and the film is nowhere to be seen.

great build richard,i really like that color and the wheatering that goes along with it.very nice.i know what you mean about micro set and solve,you have to get used to it.but when you do the results are great.as it did for you.about the ID.panels,can you place them both ways up and down or just like you did [down].i mean i have seen then the other way around for some reason.

On the Tamiya kit the pin are near the top of the panels and to turn them around you'd have to cut the pins off ..I seem to only remember them this way round but I'm no expert in modern AFV's . Thanks for the comments.
