alangarber Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Took almost 2 weeks, but got the 2nd part done. More work than expected. The old decals gave me some trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Alan, have you tried using testors decal bonder on the decals before using them? seems I read on here somewhere that it may help to keep them from cracking/coming apart when putting them in water to apply them. haven't tried it myself, but thought I'd mention it.

phoneguy Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Microscale liquid decal film works great on the old decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I sprayed them with clearcoat, waited a few days and sprayed them again with a good coat. The other options mentioned they don't have here. The clearcoating worked fairly well but still had some breaking. After they were applied and dried I coated them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 That is a Great looking combo. You really did a fine job on them (the other trucks displayed are fantastic also) Very Impressive display. Now you need Old Blue, Boss Truck, Mama Truck ..... ....... ... I got pretty good at saving old decals building aircraft models. Nothing as large scale as yours though , but a clear coat can save the day.
