Nice one Allan, I remember these decals well! Don't rebuild them as they are a part of modelling history now and you won't see these decals ever again!!! Sad

Can you hit the stock-car with a light coat of clear to keep the decals and paint all intact? I agree that this version possibly will not be done again and is already historic.

What I meant is that even though the decals are flaking off, a clear coat would prevent further deterioration and preserve the model before it goes completely. That way you have something unique and others can enjoy it too. I'm glad you put these pics up otherwise I would never have known about these models.
