Thanks for posting Danny .I remember doing hundreds of these building airfix models when i was younger .we used warm water and a tiny bit of washing up liquid ,just to help it slide around a bit .look forward to seeing the finished car after you address the green paint job 👍
You're doing great Danny. Decals can be a real pain. The only variation I do is, I put a few drops of Micro Sol in the water on the plate. Then put a folded paper towel in the water to absorb it. Place the decal on the wet paper towel to wet it. Wet the model surface with the same water so the decal will slide around. Once positioned blot the water out with paper towel and Q-Tips. Then use the Micro Set on a brush to secure it.
Put a gloss coat on next time before doing the decals. They will slide around easier, lay down better and the carrier film won't glare and shout "I'm a decal!"

Try dabbing excess water with a sponge. Looks great Brother!
Thank you for posting this, such an iconic car. Now I want to go watch Days of Thunder!

Nice work! 🏁
Thanks I appreciate it
Ahh yes, decals. Good times. 😂 It’s gonna look good Danny, keep after it.
Well done, I should get some of that micro set stuff, I’m sure it’s better than just water.
