gotnitro? Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Time for decals ! I'm using the fantastic set from model truckin..it's the truck and trailer set . I'm super impressed with them, they have a slightly thicker film over the stripes allowing several adjustments without tearing !! One issue I ran into was a few looked like the black ink was running out and they appear slightly purple. Here's the NYR Kenworth Bj and bear tribute a few touchups around the gold pin.. Now to see if my stripes line up... Hope ya like ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks DC haven't seen ya much around here..thought maybe ya caught that red hand rash too lol The decals lay down easily, but assure you cut very close to the stripes cause the carrier covers the entire sheet. I ended up with a few clear blobs . Using decal solvent like Micro sol will pull them into low areas and around details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
