a few more clear coated . cleared all bodies the same, monogram/ revel and studio 27 decals had slight wrinkles. V-R-M decals zero issues and no wrinkles . after a few very light coats, i now feel confident i can just bury the model with clear over V-R-M decals. great decals !!

getting close to the finish. did a test of house of kolor automotive clear UC-35. a little decal wrinkle on the 6 car but not too bad. i have a can of Zero Paint clearcoat lacquer, but was afraid lacquer would wrinkle or melt decals. has anyone used Zero Paint lacquer over decals ?

i would say, keep it as it is now ! looks too nice to be in a car body and never see it. perfect for an engine stand for a race shop diorama.

i swear by iwata products. i use the iwata power jet pro compressor and iwata hp-cr airbrush. also use the iwata neo and it works great for the price at about $50 from coastairbrush.com the compressor is super quiet with a reserve tank, 2 hose outlets with 2 seperate water traps and 2 seperate air regulators.

thanks guys, all bodies were sprayed with Zero Paint starting with grey primer part # ZP-3001 the dark blue cobra was sprayed with Guardsman blue part# ZP-1080 They also make the lighter cobra Viking blue part #ZP-1107 paints are pre-thinned and i really like how well it sprays out but still need to spray the Zero Paint clear and hope nothing happens to the decals

1968 RKE/JRT SCCA Trans Am Javelin
65slotcar replied to swede70's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
it's looking great Michael. now the 70 javelin looks much different then a 68, but i can't tell if the 69 javelin is much different then the 68. the bodies and grilles look the same. -
YES ! YES! YES! Can't wait to get my hands on this kit. I wonder if Tamiya marketing people look at this forum ? this kit has been on my (what kit do you want to see) list about a dozen times. now lets see some cool decal sets and some aftermarket photo etch parts!

a few ready for clear coat, #71 Terlingua is a Studio 27 decal set and the rest are V-R-M decals . first time using V-R-M decals, very impressed with quality of decals and how well they lay down.

thanks for the advice Brian, looks like a good starting point. would need to find some vintage style wheels. -
