After a day away from the bench ( NO, not the Royal Wedding, or the Cup Final ), I made a start on the decals. The main tub has had 3 decals added, and I will wait overnight to really let them dry. I'll give them a gloss varnish coat, as it will be handled in the next assembly stage.

My normal DecalFix is a bit too fierce, I added decals to the front wing endplates, and it has softened them to the point of dissolving! Luckily it's just white, so paint will have to substitute. have some Vallejo 2-part solution, so I'm going to switch to that - a slow business!

It's beginning to look like a car. finally[ATTACH]302460[/ATTACH]
Dry fitting the bodywork show a few fit problems - transfers go across the two major bodywork parts, so they will have to be adjusted, or glue the bodywork together - which would hide the engine away............
[ATTACH]302459[/ATTACH] It's going to be a matter of adding the large decals, allowing to settle down & thoroughly dry, before adding all the smaller decals. It's a slow process, so I can ponder on what my next build will be

More decals added, using the Vallejo decal solutions. I find it's the decals are the problem - very soft![ATTACH]302720[/ATTACH]

The decal medium solution shows all the creases, but as it dries, it flattens out. I was going to do car #4, Stefano Modena, but a slip of the scissors, and it's car #3.............

Onto the last lap - just the rear wing to finish

Lots of decals - 1 missing, a small 'E' symbol - I had it earlier, but now it's gone - oh well!
The next pictures will be in the 'completed' section, in the next day or so................
