Brutalform Posted April 17 Posted April 17 I finally finished this build for my brother in law. I ran into a few problems with the decals. First off, there was crease in the kits decal sheet, and Salvinos JR promptly sent me a new sheet. This worked out great, as I had the drivers side “Hendrick” back too far, and it would have been covered by the fuel filler decal, as the sail panels were incorrectly applied also. You must insert the decaled rear windows to make sure the sail panels line up with them as well as the rear roof decal. The front fascia decals were very challenging to say the least. And they still aren’t right to my eye. I definitely learned a thing or two for my next nascar build. The only thing I didn’t like is the passenger side window is too big to fit in the frame. I didn’t think to check it before adding the decals, so it’s gonna have to stay this way. Two coats of Mr Hobby clear after a mild wash with soap and water. 3
bbowser Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Great work! Decaling these NextGen cars is not for the faint of heart. The fact that all the teams wrap the cars now instead of painting makes for neat liveries but tough on us modelers!
catpack68 Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Nice work! I like that scheme.I remember had the same issue with that side window when I built a Next Gen Camaro too
