    Instead of solvents try a hot damp cloth pressed over the decal. It only takes couple seconds and will conform instantly. For the edges around the wheel openings and smaller areas like NACA ducts try a hot damp Q-Tip. Also Walthers Solvaset is a stronger solvent.

    I always one this one but sometimes they go for more than a thousand dollars.

    Take a look at Tamiya's weathering sets, set B has soot. They are acrylic based and can be removed with ammonia if you want to redo it.

    Try about 25 psi

    I have the Talon. I would use the .66mm setup for doing bodies. The fan spray tip only works with the .66m cap and needle.

    This Greg Pickett vette was a little to much.

    That is actually an FIA group 6 car.

    Take a Q-Tip and wet the underside of the decal with Future. It gets rid of the silvering that makes the decal surround clear. I have to do this wit racecar seats that have driver names and manufacturer name decals. This works well with tire decals too. Cleanup excess Future with ammonia.

    Straight ammonia will strip Tamiya acrylics safely

    Due to the Chapparal H being non competitive Chapparal did run a Mclaren M12 for John Surtees at Watkins Glen in 1969. I saw it race.

    When I do use gloves I like to use the dispasble food handling gloves https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Polyethylene-KINGLAKE-Cleaning-Handling/dp/B01JRXEK4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504752409&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=food+handling+gloves&psc=1. They are looser and more comfortable.

    If you can airbrush it try Alclad Pale Gold.

    what tip size did you spray it with? and what pressure
  18. 935k3
    In a word, humidity.

    Look and stance look good. Make sure all of the Liquitape is removed before painting, It can be hard to remove sometimes. I try to stick to alcahol to remove it.

    That was a Porsche 935 front end on the real car.

    That looks great. You will love the trigger. Those get good reviews. Enjoy.

    Try this stuff from Tamiya. It flows out nice and is very black. It is enamel and cleans up with Turpentine cleaners like Testors Brush Cleaner.

    Great to see him doing well. I hope he gets a chance to drive again.

    I have 7. I like having different ones with different size tips ready to go rather than having to change the tip and needle setup in the same airbrush.
