The decals on this build are going to be sooo much fun. (full sarcasm here). I can't wait to test my patience on them.

That's a great shine on the bodywork. The decals are a bit tricky where they curve around the windows and wheels.

I decided to do the decals before I fit the windshield as I wanted to get a couple coats of gloss over the bodywork before I do the final assembly.

Should have it all ready for spraying later this week and intend to finish at the weekend hopefully. Pantherman

The paint was Tamiya TS-14 lacquer rattle can. No clear coat.

Okay. I already ripped two pinstripe decals. I ordered a replacement decal sheet from Revell. Hopefully they will send one out.
So for now this model will not have any pinstripping on it. If I get the decal sheet I will atempt to put them on.

Did you use hot or cold water to wet the decals? I have found that cold water works better for keeping the decal intact. PM

I always use cold water for my decals.

I am calling this build done. I really enjoyed this kit. I like the nostalgia behind it. I will do the pinstripes when they arrive.
T-tops are still in the paint booth. I will post another picture when they are on the car.

Where's the can of Coors..?
Good job finishing that, I hope the next sheet of decals works out for you.

Thank you. I was looking at YT and watch some tips and tricks for long, narrow decals. I hope to get them on the car.
