KW aerodyne wrecker finished !!


Recommended Posts

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

Everything else is wrapping up but been tough stealing productive bench time lol

I'll probably add the Texas bumper before long, once i practice technique on scrap, and all the finish touches .

Stay tuned

WOW Jeff, that is looking oh so nice!!!!!!!

How hard are the decals to lay down?? I have the truck coming and will order decals but after I do my TMC Pete I want to do the Bear truck and trailer...

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.
