Nice but it really could use two more lights for each corner but honestly you can easily make one with stuff you can get at a hobby store but at least the lights look like there on ball joints so there adjustable.

i use tweezers and put them at the desired positions and gives better visibility to where you position them

i use tweezers and put them at the desired positions and gives better visibility to where you position them i'm pretty sure i ask "water slide", no the dry one... i don't know how much time does the sticker have to be drowned in water, how to attach them after it peeled, how to dried it permanently... |

Well as soon as it hits water they become "active" so to speak, and float all over the place. Vest thing to do is to cut out the decals u are Gunna use individually using a hobby knife or exacto blade. Have a small container like a large bottle cove filled with water and use tweezers to dip them into and to place em on kit. You have a good time to work with them after u place em but becarful as they can rip rather easily. Also let water drip from decal u don't want them overly wet. U can pretty much move em around as long as they are wet but again they can tear easily. Also good idea to have toothpicks around to help smith and place em since wood is softer then metal tweezers. Now they can still come off over time our during handling so if u really wNt em to be durable I'll need decal solvent and then hit it with a clear coat. The solvent will help em stick better plus give em a more natural look wile the clear coat protects them more. This is a bit more for novice but looks a lot better.

ok... i applied ur advice, and it really works!
but when i use the clear coat, is it better to coat all the area within the decals, 'cause i coated just at the the decal's spot, the color was really bad...

well usually u put the decals on last (but before clear coat) assuming you painted the model though you dont have to. So yes, you should apply it to the entire kit becasue it will look "off" if you only do the decal areas.
