Really nice looking build.
It sure looks like that’s a glue kit, not a snapper, and it seems to me (from my attempts to decal my same build) that the decals are sized to a snapper. What did you do to get the decals to fit right? I can’t seem to do that, dunno if i need to do some trimming or not. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

I did use a glue kit and I believe these decals were drawn up for the Lionel diecast since they came out before the snappers. The stripes coming up over the front fenders were a huge pain to get them to curve, needed plenty of solvaset. Getting the blue to sit on top of the rear quarters flat was a challenge too. The decals seemed thicker than usual and the gold foil was even more stubborn.
Yeah apparently the red was pearl coated too.
Thanks again |
Thanks for the explanation. I am on my second set of decals and not sure if it will ever get finished... _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

Great work! I built this one several years ago and the decals were a challenge. |
