Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 What's goin' on... Michael What kit is this? Revell? AMT? MPC? Is this availiable in stores or is that one of those old kits that you've had in your stash? Man I'd like to get a few of those kits! Yours is off to a good start! Looking forward to seeing it completely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj-Styro Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Got some decals in today! Waaahoooooooooooooo till i went to use them,as soon as the paper got wet they started to lift off in pieces and poof! they was gone man i was so ticked off! So i went a different way! using Auto Pinstripping i cut out thin strips and put it on that way,once they was in place i hit them with alittle future to seal them in so they dont lift..... Water sanded the body early today and was gona reclear it but decided i didnt have too. so i grabbed the wax and went to town!! and also got the trim done and sealed in with future as well........
