So, is it pronounced "deck-alls" or "dee-cals"?

I guess it's like aluminum. Pronounced alum, Inium or alum-inum.

Lol

Be Well. Model on.

I have heard them called both I don't think it matters to be honest, but you do say aluminium wrong

I am currently not pleased with the "dee-cals" on my 1/35th Academy M18 kit. I think the clear dee-cal backing may have ruined this kit for me.

I will try a flat clear coat base overall and get into weathering but the large clear backing on the deck-alls has me wishing for something better. Kit is near end of completion... Guns not mounted, etc.

I use Micro-Sol and Mark Fit interchangeably. I used Micro Sol on this kit and I am stumped. It always works well for me.
