PierreR89 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Calling this done even if there are a few things i still have to fix on it (front spoiler for example.. paint first, decal looks bad, then read manual and discover i did it backwards for that decal should have painted everything blue for that decal) Also think i got the cab to high because the exhaust did not line up with the turbos on the engine.

Force Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Nice Pierre. The decals was the main reason I didn't finish the first Super Boss truck model I bought back when they were new in 1981-82, I started the model quite soon after I got it but when I was putting on the decals they broke appart and cracked, and they also didn't stick...so I gave up and it still sits in the box unfinished...but who knows...one of these days...

PierreR89 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Posted July 16, 2019 Thanks. The decals were a little challenging as was the painting. But to get the decals to somewhat line up when the the body was put on the frame i used maskingtape on the backside to hold the hood to the cab and then when all was done there i removed the hood and then taped the rear part to the cab. (only dropped it once) But i wish they had split up the large decal for the sides of the hood and cab, it would have been much easier as then you could do it in sections instead of all at once.. and then cut the decals where the openings should be. Also wished they had done more of the red parts with decals, the fenders was not fun to paint.
gotnitro? Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Awesome work After seeing my buddies kit and decals I chose to avoid this challenge, but you nailed it
PierreR89 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Posted July 19, 2019 Thanks. I thought that i never would build this after seeing the decals and what i needed to paint but i decided to challenge my self. Never going to build one of these again unless someone else wants to do the painting and decals on it.
