Yeah, I had a similar situation after applying the decals to my Gotha. No, it didn't fall, but half the decals curled up. I actually had to paint on one of the eyes on the side because the decal was unfixable. Tough week this week.

Wasn’t any better today. The turret is do mucked up, it won’t hold glue, CA or UV at the smallest joint (Avenger). The decals on the Avenger are also shredding about half the time. Some fun!

After sitting in an Easy Off bath for a few days, a scrubbing clean, a coat of white primer and a couple new coats of gloss white in a rattle can then cured for 24 hours, it got the BMF treatment. It took me a good couple hours and am happy with the results. Yes, the door handles are BMF treated.

Found replacement headlights from another source but it'll do. Next are decals but I ran out of color ink. :headbang: :whiteflag:
