Despite the decal problems it's looking great. Looks like you are in the running for being the first completion
As bad as Tamiya and Hasegawa decals are...I'd say Academy's are far worse (typically)....I'm still undecided on the worst between Tam / Hase.....both suck a bit differently, but about equally.
I really need to go back through some of my older builds and check out the Academy decals. I know I've built a bunch (including their Typhoon with Invasion stripe decals) but don't remember having issues with them? I see three possibilities:
1 - I'm Canadian, so I just apologized & kept moving.
2 - my pure, clean east coast Maritimes water agrees with the decals.
3 - I didn't know any better at the time.
...or the 4th, less likely option, is that I'm F#$%^&'n FABULOUS at appyling decals?
I am a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, smothered in Canadian bacon.
