I have always scrubbed my tires well with soap and water and used Future. Allow it to dry overnight and then decal. I let the decal dry at least overnight before hitting with Testors Dullcoat .

AMT ‘53 Ford and hauler

Kit went together quite nicely. The only things that come to mind is I had to take some material off the firewall to get the “Firedome” engine to fit better. Also the axles are to long for the chrome wheels and need to be shortened. I just used the plastic axles and cut them to my liking. Enjoy your build! -
Thank you guys.

That is AWESOME! -
Man that turned out great. I wish Hobby Lobby would start carrying it.

Finished this Toyota up today. I didn’t like the shade of Tamiya Racing Green so I hit a little to heavy maybe with Tamiya Smoke and then cleared. Definitely darkened it up. Overall turned out ok but with several builder induced flaws. Original Racing GreenAfter the smoke and cleared.

AMT 1972 Chevrolet C10 Pickup

I like how it turned out. Nice! -
Beautiful! I started work at a Cadillac dealership 2 years after that new body style came out and just retired this year. Have a soft spot for Caddy models.

Revell 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda 1/24 Scale in Metallic Gold.

Awesome build! -
This is the Revell 1/48 scale F4U4 Corsair. I recently picked up 6 WW2 aircraft kits and this was one first up. In my teen years I built a lot of planes and armor so I’m ready to get back to it. My build here looks good in final photos but it’s not without flaws. Wings will not fold nor will the landing gear retract, builder error and kit design I’m blaming as a factor. Port wing hangs about 1/2 lower than starboard side. Paint is Tamiya AS-8 Navy Blue followed with Mr Hobby Flat Clear. Thanks for checking it out and any comments.

Yes I do plan on doing the Gulf paint scheme and I did save two of the Gulf decals for it. I do regret not using a lighter color of blue on the trailer, something that matches the Gulf colors better. -

Thank you all for the kind comments. -
Finished the pickup today, have had the trailer done a couple of weeks ago as it was the main reason I purchased the kit. Waiting for the AMT dually kit to come out for my tow vehicle. Both were pretty fun to build. Trailer is painted Tamiya Ts-10 French Blue and the truck is Tamiya AS-1 Dark Green. I used the optional Desoto “Firedome” V8 instead of the flathead. I finished the truck as if the owner is in the final stages of completing his restoration. Thanks for looking and appreciate any feedback.
