Those decals are well printed and capture the scheme nicely.

Now i am trying to complete the livery with the decals. Always a hard job working with them...... When:

Image

The ace softener really softens the carrier film which is above the colored part of the decal!!!!! With the softener brush, you can softly remove the film: no more fear of silvering, good news!!!!

Image

When the decal is dry, you can also easily remove the carrier film.

So, ace decals are "hightech" ones!!!! I suspect that amd and wolf models (fittipaldi f7) are the same !

Well done with the decals Jean-Paul, the ACE softener is the one to use for sure.

Does this mean you're going to clear coat with semi gloss? I am very keen to see how this turns out. I have some 1/43 I will return to building that are going to me satin clear coated (or a little less glossy than semi-gloss). Watching with interest.

Yes Terry, I will test a satin coating. It will suit well this car I think.
Defect will also be less visible ! :wink:
