Scottnkat Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 This build started off as the MPC Firefighter kit, but with Slixx decals. I re-did the wheelie bars to extend them out farther, added a parachute from the spare parts box, wired and plumbed the engine. I hope you enjoy the pics. Here's the engine compartment and a final pic

Ramcharger Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 That one is on my to do list, Great Job!!!
Daddyfink Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Nice! I tried building this one, but, the decals went to pot real fast on me! Ended up with the just the plain white version. After seeing yours, I think I am going to try and build this one again!
slusher Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Very cool build Scott, decals look great. Real nice work...
Scottnkat Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks, everyone. Jesse, the decals were pretty darn bad. I used decal film on them to keep them together, then used microset and microsol on them. I also had to use a hair dryer to get them to lay down and still they tore and crumbled. I had to use paint to touch up some parts of the decaled areas.
Daddyfink Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Well, you did a great job with those decals! I thought I might have been the only one to get a bad set of them since it has happened before with Slixx decals.
