AMT 1970 Chevelle SS Stripe Decals?

[crowe-t]

Do the hood stripe decals that come with the AMT 1970 Chevelle SS lay down straight?

Since the stripes go over the bulge in the hood do they go on even?  The stripe decals don't get any wider where they go over the hood bulge so I'm concerned they might look narrower in this area.

I hope this makes sense.

I used them on a Revell snapper. Actually, I had to use TWO sets of the AMT decals, carefully cutting and pasting them to get the right widths and lengths and proportions. So I wouldn't have any great hopes for them.

Maybe they lay down better on the AMT kit.  Hopefully someone who used them on an AMT kit had better results.

I really doubt it.

Do the AMT stripe decals(in the new release) settle down nicely with setting solution?

I used the AMT(Round 2) kit's stripe decals.

I angled the kit's hood stripes(narrower towards the front) by separating the outer pin stripes from the decals and then cutting the stripes on an angle so they won't look narrower towards the rear where the hood hump is.  I applied the hood decals and then applied the outer pin stripes as separate decals.  I hope this makes sense.  

The cowl induction on the hood hump, SS badges and Chevelle on the trunk are after market decals I had.  I re-shaped the side fender and quarter panel bulges.  These were way off how they look on a real Chevelle.

This is a body I'm painting for a friend for a drag slot car.
