Russell C Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 By coincidence, another thread here has come back up on a Southeastern Finecast metal kit for the Rover V8 which perhaps be used to cure the 'curbside' problem of the Aoshima kit: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=78922 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microwheel Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Nice work Jeremy. I've had issues myself with some kits decals. And it never seems to be a particular brand of kit either, I have had it happen with AMT kits, Revell, and different types of import kits. It just seems to mostly happen with older kits that have sat around for a long time. Don't know of there is any aftermarket solution out there to your problem, but I'm sure if there is, someone on here will be able to steer you in the right direction.

jbwelda Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 the problem with decals falling apart can be solved with foresight: brush some future over them, or spray them with some clear lacquer or use some decal preservative solution commercially available. it makes it so you have to trim the decal very tightly, and they will probably take longer to release from the backing sheet (don't get rough with them or they will still split) but they will hold the things together for application. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epi4561 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Are you gonna go all Jeremy Clarkson on that Range Rover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) No don't go all Jeremy Clarkson, he's a pain in the backside here. Nice car, nice kit, if I could do a top chop, I'd convert it to a Range Rover Sport. The factory is just up the road. We see a lot of camo'd prototypes, all Land Rover / Jaguar vehicles. I look forward to seeing the rest of the build, well done so far! Edited August 22, 2014 by PatW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
