Tamiya Honda 1100 XX

Haven't seen that before, looks like the micro sol took the ink right out of the decal !!!
bummer
Tamiya is pretty good for sending new ones if the kit isn't too old...worth a try

Strange. I wonder what caused that.

This is the closest model I could find that matches my motorcycle. I just ordered the paint from Kawasaki dealer.

Great build so far Panther man. Bummer on the decal. I didn't think that Windsor stuff was that hot? Hmm.

All the other decals are fine, it's just that one. Very puzzling? Pantherman

So I decided to use a rattle can of Winsor Newton gloss varnish for the bodywork. Not a great result and can't explain why one decal silvered when the other was fine? All done at the same time using the same materials? Pantherman

So I have sanded down and now going to respray it. I have ordered another set of decals so hopefully it will work second time round.

Done a little bit more of the frame build while I'm waiting. Pantherman
