....and a 7mm scale rather bland "standard " version of the Metrobus with bus seats as depicted a few months old in '80 featuring the "new" style, repositioned fleetname - the decision to paint the whole engine covers brown, and bumpers black as standard on all deckers was introduced a few months later .... again all home - made transfers.

Glad to see your'e progressing and learning a new "trick" with each model you do . Onwards and upwards !!!! Yes had a go at a home made advert until i can get a decent pic of a side advert, the grilles i cheated with bought a pack off ebay had all grills for Olympians, yep mirrors were tricky especially glueing the mirror onto the arm. Just a quick onr Transit how can i stop the decal fadeout from curling near the wheel arches?

...spray a liitle clear lacquer into the lid (which you use to spray the decal paper) then slit every mm the overlapping transfer up to the wheelarch rim , brush some of the lacquer on the under wheelarch rim, then gently press the decal under to stick to the lacquer. The clear lacquer can also be an "adhesive " for any other loose transfers.
