Imai 1/72 VF-1 #5

Mixed a dark grey color with Tamiya enamel black and white, applied on the side exhaust ports on the main engines. Time for decals - it is really challenging this time, the decals sheet not just turning yellowish after 30+ years (close to 40 indeed), it takes few minutes to soak in water before the decals can be detached, and yet they are extremely brittle. I have damaged most of them, and only two were successfully mounted on position, which I was able to moved its pieces into a logo shape.
Success rate is very low, at least I tried.
