I got the HG 1/144 GM (Shoulder Cannon Equipped/Missile Pod Equipped) and I’m super excited to build it!

My experience with water transfer decals is lacking, I did some on my Guncannon and you can see an edge on one of the larger leg decals.

Any tips/tools/recommendations to help me make the decals look as clean as possible?

I’ve got tweezers and a craft knife, not sure what tools would help, I’ve seen those little sponge tools and decal fluid. I’ve tried different soaking times and suspect I was impatient. Honestly the whole process was pretty fiddly and stressful and this dude has WAY MORE TO DO!

    Thanks Zourn

    Would you recommend adding decals before building (after cleaning nubs etc)?

      It depends on the part and the decal location. Usually I like to build first, so that I can see how the decal fits in the bigger picture. But some decal locations aren’t very accessible after assembly, but sometimes I still assemble then pull the parts off if necessary.

      But that’s just my preference, whatever works best for you is valid.
