bossy122 Shit decals. I have some from a different company coming so it's just a minor delay. Disappointing, none the less.

Munkyslut I'm terrible with decals, fat sausage fingers & zero patience combine to turn any job in to a shit tsunami

bossy122 These cracked as soon as I tried pressing them down. And no amount of softener helped the things.

bossy122 Easily fixed. Just waiting for better decals from the other side of the globe.

Spanjaard pity to see that... hopefully it will much better with the new ones

bossy122 Its not often I come across decals that have NO reaction to Microsol, but these things didn't even flinch! "That the best ya got, tough guy? Ha!" Brutal.

bossy122What do the colored dot and the star next to our profiles stand for?
Mike Sleger My dot is always green, so I'm presuming it denotes a user's online status. I suspect the stars are a sort of ranking system, but I haven't seen where these are documented.
6. February, 04:21
Greg Baker Correct. The stars are basically contributor levels. The more stars you have, the higher your level of access is for things like making edits and changes to the database entries. The ranking system isn't really based on "time spent" but more like "time WELL spent". So if you add kits to the database, edit timelines, clean up errors, etc. you'll get more stars.

Updated: January 16, 2020 bossy122 Took this out of the box, sanded off the seams and painted it white....YEARS ago. While fumbling through the stash, this one wound up on top and caught my attention. I always liked the challenge of masking the white areas off. Did a decent job. Paint edges are higher than I prefer, but let's see what I can do with it.

Share bossy122 Step one is to paint the red. I tried Testors jar by airbrush. After about 10 coats, it didn't appear to be getting any darker. This lead me to try something chancy:I remasked the thing and went over the Testors with TS36 (that I had been trying to find an alternative to in the first place). Thankfully the 2 didn't react to one another.

Share bossy122 My first thought on this kit: WHY 1 giant white decal? Bullwinkle, that trick never works! Here's hoping Shunko, Tabu or Museum Collection make some after market decals with just the pinstripes ( HINT HINT) by the time I get that far.
Surprised there aren't as many pieces to this kit as there are for the Lancia S4 kit.

bossy122 So this has turned into a 2 kits to make 1 model thing ( LOVE those). But, taking the knowledge gained from kit A, I was able to get the decals down with distorting them ( as you can see on the right hand kit). These are very interesting decals in that they are very maliable all on their own, no softener needed. But you have to be SO gentle while pressing them over uneven surfaces.
28. July 2019, 07:37
Dominik Weitzer Olala....sounds bad at the moment...not that quality as thought about beemax? Makes me wondering.
28. July 2019, 08:07
bossy122 The quality is different. It's good but unlike anything i've worked with before. I still think including the defective cab piece was incredibly dumb. Hopefully my experience will help guide other builders around the tricky spots of this kit.

Spanjaard Overreact with microsol? They break?
1. March 2019, 15:45
bossy122 The red/green stripes along the outside of the cockpit broke, but that was probably due to age. The bigger one crinkled up very badly and trying to smooth them with a brush was an iffy situation at best. It was a case of doing what I could then hoping like hell they smoothed out on their own.

bossy122 I built this when it was first released in 2010 or so. It was originally "finished" as the Sheckter car with the complicated rear wing. Sadly, right after taking pics of that car, the rear wing fell to pieces. I went back and changed it to Depalliers car......with slick tyres. Forever it was on display with its slick tyres but I finally got the proper rain tyres on her and now I can officially call it done! Only took 9 some odd years.
Oh, I had to make my own headrest cushion out of Super Sculpy.

Mike Thomas Great job! I bought a couple kits a few years ago from a guy and he threw one of these in as a "bonus". It was built but looked like it had sat on a dusty shelf for years then got knocked off. One of these days, I'm gonna tear it down and rebuild it. (famous last words, eh?)
