Built this a couple of years ago, the decals were fun, NOT. Yes i know the chutes are missing, i never put them on, will one day. Sorry they are not the best photos, was learning the camera at the time.

Question answered. That looks real nice. The decals look like they would've been a task and a half!

That is such a lovely looking body shape there. You did a great job, and I feel your pain with the decals, They are a bugger of a thing Sad

One very mean looking car, nicely built. Not sure what you mean by the decals were fun - not! Are the decals difficult to apply in a fiddly way as in they don't follow curves, or they don't stick, or do they fall apart when applied?

Sounds like sound advice, I'll have to do the same scan and print method with all the vintage van stuff I've got too. bigthumbsup

Thanks for the tip.

not that "swear words" are anything to do with this thread, but bugger or buggery has ever been a swear word imo, sounds like somoene has swallowed too much "political correctness"..

now as for "christine" i've been searching on US ebay, i think those guys are living in a dream land..i've seen models being posted on there for as much as 5 times there original value..
