martinfan5 Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Here we have Multmatic Motorsports #22 that was raced in the 2019 Michelin Pilot Challenge Daytona , decals are from Indycals. So I am just absolutely embarrassed to be showing this , the decals are not that good , I redid the sides and the rear bumper and they still look bad. They just hate to go over anything that inst flat, they hate to be messed with after drying, and they are on the thick side and they don't like to be cut, and the ink comes off fairly easy. Indycals after sales customer service was top notch and excellent. The kit itself is just wonderful , TS26 for the paint, TS13 for the clear coat, what else is there to say, its Tamiya like quality , I am still very pleased with how it turned out.
PatW Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) It looks very good, despite the decals. I've just used SlotFabrik that are made mainly for slot cars but in 1/24th scale. They are the opposite to yours, very thin, curl up from the paper to the model surface, need microsol, and plenty of it, and tweezers to stretch out etc. You've got a super build there!

TonyK Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Not seeing anything wrong with your finished model but I know we're our own worst critic. Looks great. Building one myself and it's a typical Tamiya model. Very enjoyable.
Dave Van Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I think you did well!!!!! Indycals are very good decals. I have been manufacturing decals for myself since the 1960's and commercially since 1983. They do need extra work around corners and edges. I use Walthers Solvaset as it is the strongest solvent out there. Walthers has made this cince the 1930'!!! Just for comparison here is my Revell Mustang with Indycals.....They went down well with warm damp paper towels and solvaset without issue. I did mess up a decal on a Porsche model and they sent a replacement right away. Thx
Phildaupho Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Great looking historic livery on a very attractive contemporary racecar
randyc Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 I'm working on this one right now. Glad to see one completed in this livery. I'll probably check yours for decal reference as well.
Penguins87 Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Looks great. Very nice. I was looking for you to do one of these GT4 kits.
