Thomas Kirschbaum nice truck

D. Meer Thank you Thomas

Patrick Hagelstein That's a big boy! Have you considered using decal softener? That way the decals will snuggle down over those rivets.

D. Meer Hey Patrick thank you for your comment. And yes I know about decal softener but wasn't sure how almost 40 yrs old decals would react with that, did use warm water in the hope it would help abit but no luck. Didn't dare to try softener lol

Patrick Hagelstein Just give it a try at an inconspicious place. Did you put a final coat over the decals already?

D. Meer Didn't put a final coat over it yet so I could still try softener on it. Have some truck kits from 70's with decals that I wont use, maybe try on them first was already glad they didn't fell off after drying

D. Meer The moment you find your kit under the heater.....my housekeeper placed this kit under the heater
The kit was mostly build already by previous owner, what I don't understand is that he build it first without painting...this makes it very hard to paint, cuz can't get to all parts....

Martin Oostrom Can't you make a diorama with a fallen tree that hit the cab? Doesn't need to be now, but perhaps in a few weeks/months/years, when you feel you are up to it?
When working with an airbrush, you can get paint in amazing places, or none in other places. Masking painted parts before spraying another colour is pretty commonplace.

D. Meer Want to know howto for Decal Info on contribute page

Martin Oostrom Instructions: Go to the kit page. Choose edit. There you can upload the pdf.
On the same edit page, you can add the decal info. For cars/trucks, one for each livery or license plate. Please choose the right topic!

D. Meer Bedankt voor de comment Martin, dus er hoeven geen foto's van de hele decal sheets geupload te worden?

Andy W. Hello Dony.
First of all, welcome to the forum.
As far as your question is concerned, the question of the missing Decal information simply means which versions of the model are buildable. In the civilian area you usually have only one buildable version. In the military, for example, in aircraft or the like, you often have the choice between different staggering or nations, which you can build. You can then deposit these as info. In most cases you have also noted the individual options in the construction plan.

D. Meer Thx Andy for the welcome and explanation

Martin Oostrom Hoi Dony, voertaal is Engels, dus die hou ik even aan als je het niet erg vind. Je kunt altijd in het nederlands pm-en.
It isn't necessary to add pictures of the decal sheet. There is a beta testing feature in which some users can add pictures of sprues, decalsheet, pe etc. But that is of later concern. If you could take the pictures and keep them for a while, 'we' can use them here later.

Andy W. No problem, you're welcome

D. Meer Sorry for the dutch then, English from now on

Martin Oostrom The unwritten rules of the internet forum only Ze Jermans relapse from time to time

D. Meer lol

D. Meer Thx Chaz, atm working on 2 different trucks that previous owner started already. only 1 truck missing decals and 1 trailer not complete

Martin Oostrom There are always some volunteers to be found, to help you move some of those boxes to their house

D. Meer lol dat denk ik ook wel Martin heb van de week een houten rek besteld voor alle dozen. staat nu allemaal op de grond in mn hobbykamer kwam er net achter dat mijn huishoudster de AMT Budweiser Peterbilt 352 truck onder de kachel had geschoven en de cabine is nu zo gesmolten dat ik er niets meer mee kan chassis ziet er nog wel goed uit...was al aardig eind met bouwen ervan...

Spanjaard Gesmolten cabine? Dat is echt jammer.... misschien voor ongeluck diorama?

D. Meer tsja dak van cabine is niet meer bruikbaar, maar idd misschien is dat dan nog een idee zo'n diorama. baal wel behoorlijk.

Treehugger But seriously, check out Tamiya's Extra Thin Cement. This kind of glue makes less mess, and is supposed to be applied on the OUTSIDE of the seams, not inside as with regular messy old tube glue. The excess liquid glue will mostly evaporate, but don't get any spill on clear parts. This liquid glue may also run around your thumb leaving a fingerprint, if you add liquid glue anywhere near your thumb while holding the model with your thumb.

Tamiya also has a lemon scented version of the Extra Thin Cement.

Chris Greathouse I'm SO jealous of all your trucks!!!

D. Meer Thx Chris I'm very happy that I could buy this complete collection that contain a few hard to get kits
And Treehugger will check it thx

D. Meer Kit was missing some parts, like radiator. made that out of cardbox lol
