Probably should've continued the thread from last time...?
Haven't done much since Saturday, dicking around with another toy I was given, bought and erected some shelves, bit of a clean up;
And back into this 4:30am this morning..
Anyway this is the update on the Caltex saga.
Finally applied the home grown decals to the tanks;...I was a little dissapointed in the decals, carrier appeared a tad thick and there appears to be some...cracking? or discontinuity in a couple of them. But on closer scrutiny I think the discolouration may be due to the printer, not sure about the carrier film...I thought I may have been heavy handed on the clear.I might try one of the other brands and see.

Little bit opaque as well, but it may be the printer......Damn !!!...gotta clean up the overspray.

At this stage, because I split out two for the linfox B Double...this will stay as a set, did the lights etc, decided on the prime mover to go with it...so thunderbbirds are go to the finish line.

Top stuff Clea, these look great.
Can't believe you have so much clear bench space. I don't even have a bench this long, let alone that clean!
