This is Esaki tissue, the best tissue one can use. The kit tissue/domestic tissue is ok but harder to use. I learned on domestic tissue and can do pretty good with it, but Esaki is a breeze to work with.

Impressive.

How did you attach your decals? Pardon me, if you answered that question a bunch of times already.
I cannot get my decals on without wrinkles.

For normal building waterslide decals are not the best, wish Guillows would go to peel and stick. Any way I make sure to pat out all the water then carefully lay the decal down and work out all the bubbles. Looks ok now but in a few weeks these will fall off.

What I found that works good, is the same glue stick that I use for putting on tissue. So in another words dry place the decal in the area you want, I just eye ball it. Then rub the glue stick where the decal goes. Put the decal in water, when it is ready remove excess water place it on. rub out any air bubbles and excess water and your done. The only down side is if you paint your plane with a flat finish. You will see some shinny spots where there is extra glue. But if you wait until the decals are totally dry you can wipe off the glue with a little alcohol. The glue allows the adhesive on the decal to stick to the plane. Before you would have to put at least 3 or 4 coats of dope on the plane for the decals to stick. 8)

White glue works too, just use a strong mix, and don't use too much...

I learnt this on the Cessna that I built not to long ago, but note the mistake I made to start with!
