There must be something in the Oregon Air that allows my decals to stick longer.

Pretty much any adhesive that doesn't bond the parts together (Super glue) will be wrecked too by Simple Green. Expect to reassemble your resin models.
Curious, the Constellation sat for weeks in full strength Simple Green and stayed in one piece. I might depend on your CA.

Zap a gap (did not use kicker) and Krazy Glue more or less crumbled for me, along with other store bought glues I can't remember off the top of my head (Loctite I think?). Your mileage seems to vary here it seems.

Yea, Zap is my go too Devil's brew. Thin and gap filler. I travel quite a way to get it.

(BTW we do not have a shrug smiley)

Sooooo guys... into the final leg now. I made a start on the decaling yesterday

I've been waiting to do this for aaaages

They're going on really well...

She definitely needs a coat of matt clear though, she looks very toy like, and I don't like that

That being said she's looking better than she has at any point I've had her.

Yes, she isn't perfect, but she's mine

If she's not perfect she's pretty darn close. I need to save my fun money till I can nab all of those aftermarket decals. That's a real pretty ship when she's all dressed up.
