Can you believe it - last stretch and I
have two setbacks in a row...
This was pretty
incredible. As I was misting the ship with light ghost grey
(having run out of the primary hull color - it's a little light, but
close enough for touch-ups), the pressure from the airbrush actually
fractured and blew apart a decal! The decal that suffered is the
large orange one in front of the auxiliary deflector.
I believe that it's
permanently fixed as of the time of this writing, however. I
picked up the pieces (that were extremely fragile) and put them
back on the model with a fine paintbrush and water. I then used
decal setting solution to make it all one piece again. Over
time, the decal curled, so I mixed elmer's glue with water and brushed
that over the whole decal. This seems to have worked perfectly
(per the picture below).
