most kit decals are not very opaque and a white or any light color decal over a dark surface will allow the surface color to bleed through. If you can purchase decals its always a good idea to buy two sheets and double up on the decals
I hear that nascar is going to require that every team uses this paint scheme. Also they can only use block letters and numbers in black only. You know, to cut costs and make things more equal. They say that the fans will love it.
I hope they just call them chevys, fords, and toyotas. No way they should call that brick a camaro, mustang, or heaven forbid a supra. You could fit two supras in that thing.
So , John. I take it these are white decal paper decals. These are the same I have to make for myself when I have anything but a white car. It would probably work better if you cut the decals out exactly on the edge of the numbers and the letters. in other words remove all the blue back ground material. I know it sounds like a lot of work but that's what I have to do with the decals I make for my builds that are made on white decal paper. The best way to accomplish this and it may sound crazy but install the decal with some blue background material and then after it has set for an hour or so trace around the decal on the model with a #11 exacto knife and remove the excess decal material with a tweezers. It works.
I agree. For that kind of money that baby should fit together like a revell kit. I've always had issues with amt kits. for some reason it takes a court order to get the frame to fit to the body on the fiftys and sixtys cars. I had to use screws once to get them to stay together on one build.
You might want to try a higher f stop so the car stays mostly in focus on the slanted side shots. And make sure you have plenty of light . Also a light gray back ground helps give you truer color register. And it looks like you are already doing that.
