    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Decals

Very nice!

The tennis ball gives it some scale. Couldn't tell if the fender and tail were 4ft, 2ft, or these were miniture scale without it. :p
 
That's looking really good. Way to have patience. I'll look forward to seeing the progress and the final product. Nicely done.
 
Well, I have all the decals on now. I'm not real pleased with how the large ones went on. It's very hard to lay then down without air bubbles or water trapped somewhere, and if you pin prick them to let the trapped stuff out you can see the hole - barely but you can. Don't even try to lift the decal as it will distort and you're going to have a disaster. That happened to one corner on the side panels.

My advise to anyone doing a restoration on this model is to PAINT the red, cut the red from the decal, and then lay it down as a pin stripe. It was painted from the factory and I guess I know why now.

I'm a perfectionist and when something like this happens it bums me out. Oh, well, I'll clear it tomorrow and off it goes.
 
I checked the decals out today and they all look pretty good except the one I tried to lift (stupid mistake). It's not really that bad, but I don't like goobers.

I'm not going to clear over that side panel. I'll order another decal and replace it later. If I clear it, then it's going to be impossible to repair unless I strip it down to plastic. There's already 2 coats of clear on it so it will be fine for a few weeks.
