Thank you, Michael! Indeed, to get something back from the shelf of shame is not an easy task. In this case however, I was just not happy with the decals. I put quiet some work into the model and I really want to finish it.

Dimko, if this hobby taught me anything, then it is to be patient. I remember the times when I hardly could let any paint dry. It is great to hear that you got an airbrush and got some good results already. I am sure you will improve further over the next models. Actually, your MP4 triggered me, to finally take this project forward again 🙂

It will be released by Italeri later this year and you will be able to buy it from your favorite kit dealer.

Hard to see from the photo if they are bubbles or some particles stuck to clear coat. If bubbles, than yes, I will get a new #11 blade and try to poke one or two to see what happen. Maybe another coat of decal solution and leave it. If they are dust stuck to the clear than I will let it cure for a week and lightly sand it with Tamitya 3000 sanding sponge. A light coat of clear may be required afterward.

They were bubbles indeed. I mostly fixed it by now, but a few bubbles were leaving imperfections behind. So, just another layer of clear will not work, as those spots need some rework. I parked it for now and will get back to it after finishing another project first. Sometimes, some distance helps...

Great looking Volvo. The paint work is amazing!

Andre Louis Autor
Thank you, Goldman. The Volvo would pair nicely with your yellow R144!
