With the WAY under inflated tyres

And the right front on backwards.😉 Sorry, my OCD kickin' in. 🙂 Helluva nice job, sir!

That's not surprising. After two tries with the decals, that wasn't high on the priority list. I'd try and change it but it would probably break something.

Mike Thomas
Yeah, I hear ya. Been there myself and sometimes it's not worth the trouble.

I did this one a while ago. It would be nice to redo the chrome on the wheels, but......

Mike Thomas
Did you use the Tabu decals on this one as well? As I mentioned on your other post a couple days ago, I'm waiting for the Tamiya kit to arrive and I can't do a cigarette sponsored car without the correct decals. (it's that OCD thing again.)

bossy122
Yes, these are Tabu as well. If I may suggest, start with the upper stripe that runs along the cowling. The V on the end of that decal sets everything else in place. It took me a second sheet to figure that out : (

Mike Thomas
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Yeah, I just looked at those Tabu decals. The sides of the cowling - pin stripes and the Player - is all one long piece. On decal 18, where I got confused was seeing the butt end as an L instead of the V and screwed me up.
