Yeah! if you have ever buily a nascar model you will know how crappy the kit stuff is lol. i just wrap the wire around a pencil or plastic tubing of the correct size. then you take it off and you can bend it to any shape. then just wrap it in BMF and your good to go. i got a close up here, public.fotki.com/jamestremblett/dale_earnhardt_1990/imgp5282_copy.html |

thanks guys!, heres a little update. nearly finished, i still have to finish the interior, dash and other details. also the grills. hood pins, i have to make antena's and small things like that. the body got decaled last night. i used the kits decals so the markings might not be 100% correct. today i will clear the body then polish it out.  |

DAMN THAT IS AMAZING!!!! Very very nice work there.
Stupid question but since I do not use decals that often how do you get them to appear clear?
No matter what I do I ALWAYS seem to have a cloudy look?

You have to lay them on, than let them set for 3-5 minutes then slide a dry paper towel over them slowly.
Then its time for clear
Thats a good build

Thnx!,
these decals are 12 years old lol, thy are not the best, i had to let them soak in water, then fliip them over and wash the back of them, (there was some sort of film on the back!) and once i cleaned them off they went on pretty nicely!.
and to get them clear, i do like hemidaytona426 said. and i use micro-sol setting solution.
