- Here is the new MPC 1971 Dodge Demon kit. Getting the decals on and having a hood decal issue. It's not the kits decals, but aftermarket ones I bought 14-15 years ago. Decided to try and paint it instead.

I just finished my second Demon 340 kit, and experienced the same problems you found. But, nobody but me will ever see it, so I don't worry about it.
Thanks.
I've learned through my years of experience with models that require large hood stripes , that masking and painting is best for me ...
Nice looking Dodge!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tape idea.😊
You’re welcome 😊
Wow!! Great tip with the scotch tape! Decals are my least favorite part of a build. Especially after you get them applied perfect, then the clear attacks them!! And the paint looks great! It's way better than what I could do.
Thanks. I have had some aerosol clear coats attack decals but have not had that with the real automotive clear.
Good idea to take a step back. Personally i think it turned out great Raoul! I appreciate you sharing the removal technique. 😎👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent work, and I would be very content to have gotten those results. Keep pressing on!
Thanks, will do!
All in all it came out nice. I'm sure there were a few choice words said when you laid down that tape. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I was getting frustrated the night after I removed all the old decal. That night I just had to put it down and work on something else. The following night was just the same so I put if off till the weekend. That’s when I got it and said that will do!
I know your videos are more focused on your results versus the process, but I really would have liked to see you "show your work" in terms of masking and painting the hood graphics. The fact you masked and painted them is amazing!
Thanks. Masking videos are difficult to make and watch. I have made a few but was not happy with the results so I have not posted them.
Very nice work on the decals a painted hood!!!
Thank you!
A hot water soak also helps loosen up decals
It helps but these aftermarket ones needed to stretch and the setting solution was breaking them down.
You tried the best you could with the hood stripes. In the end it’s what you are happy with. I’m still a fan of your work.
Thank you!
Great save. 🏁
Thanks!
Great work. For stripes like that i might have considered borrowing a cricut cutter ac's making a set of vinyl masks.
That’s an idea and I may have to check one out.
nice save Rahl i had no idea the decals were an issue thx for the heads up😁🤩scooter😎give yourself credit ive seen you build the motion vettes and those are my all time favs 😅🤗
Thanks again! These stripes have more curves in them so it is a bit more difficult.
Not your best work? And I would be thrilled with not your best and it being mine! Thanks for showing us how you take care of issues like this.
So nice of you. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the tip. 👍
No problem 👍
That's a boat load of work, but I think it turned out great in the end!
Thanks. It’s a lot, that’s for sure.
Looks good, in the end it's on the shelf and something to be proud of. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you very much!
Cricut makes a machine called the joy. This thing is perfect for cutting out vinyl masking for model work. Have a look at it.
I have this kit it's good to know all about the decal problems. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip!
Nice work painting the stripes. I’ve read about the tape trick, but this the first time I have ever seen someone doing it. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheMuscleCarModeler It was very helpful.
this is a very helpful video …thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Looks great.
Thanks!
Wow! Stinks about the decals. But what an excellent way to remove them.
Thanks!
looks great
Thank you!
Ralph, I have an idea for you to try. Use the correct size hole punch with your masking tape to cut out perfect corners.
And, thanks for the tip on removing decals.
Tim
Great tip! Thanks.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler you’re very welcome.😊 let me know how it works you.
Great video 👍🏿
Thank you!
I had the same issue with the hood decal. Ended up stripping it and painting it all black
That works also!
When thing wrong with masking, and they do!...but turn out ''nice'' in the end, i give myself the Krusty the clown seal of approval...''Its not just good,its good enough''. and move on to the next build😄
Yes. It’s not perfect but it is my work. I’m happy with it.
The worst thing about that kit are those decals...i watched another You Tuber build it and the hood was horrendous.
The kit looks so good with them too but i think i will go without.
The decals are a bit think and don’t bend very well.
A friend of mine used to soak kits in hot water to remove decals. I have also heard (but never tried) that soaking in vinegar will loosen the glue and remove decals. I have no idea how that will affect the paint
I have used hot water to help set the decals but not remove them. Plus if the water is too hot it can warp the plastic.
Looking good. Have you tried printing your own decals?
Thanks. No I have not.
