Pretty cool kit! Can't go wrong with a surf van! That's a perfect color for that van. Of course, what you've done here is an awesome build!

Thank You!! I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out until I started laying down that paint! Not trying to brag or anything but I'm impressed with how this turned out. Thanks for watching!

Looks pretty good! I just used that Createx pearl orange on a Road Runner. But looking at those decals, i think you made the right choice of color

Thank you. I had used that Createx Pearl Orange on the JoHan Rambler build a while back, and I almost used it for this build but decided that it was too orange for this build. I also wanted something that was metallic, and the pearl didn't quite fit .

@@scaleautoguysworkbench I just watched it a bit ago, it looks nice! I can't find the pic of my roadrunner now but I'll send you a link when I do. I did the Createx over a pumpkin orange base, then I added a lemon ice pearl coat

Great build! I would like to know if you had difficulties applying the decals? Mine cracked and were hard to position. I'm an experienced builder. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thank You! I'm sorry to hear that you had issues. The only decals I had problems with were the ones that went on the rear doors. I couldn't get them to lay down over the hinges and handles. I also had trouble getting the two little decals that were on the top rear corners to match up with the side decals. The remaining ones that I did apply went on with zero issues. I don't know what happened to yours. Your kit may have been stored somewhere that may have had an odd temperature, either to high or to low, and it may have affected the decal sheet in some way. Of course, I'm just guessing at this point. The kit isn't really that old. So to say that they were that way from age can be ruled out. I soaked mine in cool water (I know that it is supposed to be warm) for about 30-45 seconds before trying to gently move them on the paper. If they moved , then I put them on. Other than that, like I said, zero issues.

@johnclemans7802 Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful. Good luck with the next set of decals. If you have recently purchased that kit and still have the receipt, you might be able to go to Round 2 and get a set for free.

@@scaleautoguysworkbench thank you, the local hobby shop I have been going to since 1977 is aware of it. Did you clear coat the body first? I used Tamiya Racing White with no clear coat. The decals could not be positioned on the body , they just cracked apart.

@@johnclemans7802 I did apply clear before doing the decals. I always apply clear before I apply decals, BMF etc. I think it smooths out the surface which allows the decals to be slid into position and it gives you a little bit of working time before the decals actually set in position. Some guys even clear over the decals to seal them in. I don't do that, I just set them and leave them be. Hopefully, the hobby shop will help you out in getting another set.

Would you sell or trade the stock hub caps How do you get that craft paint to cover so will with a brush
@scaleautoguysworkbench
11 ай бұрын
Sorry, the hubcaps have already been given to my cousin for one of his builds. As far as the craft paint question, well that paint doesn't stick to bare plastic very well. For this reason I am a big promoter of priming everything before the topcoat goes on. The primer gives the paint something to hold onto. In addition, adding a coat of primer helps to magnify trouble spots before you go to your topcoats. Things like missed mold lines, dimples, scratches etc. so that you can address those before you topcoat. Bare styrene plastic is just to smooth for the craft paints to stick to by themselves. Oil based enamels or spray can paints on the other hand don't necessarily require primer. Also, most of the enamels that have been developed for the model building world have been formulated to adhere to the bare plastic.
