Safire6 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'm building this Lindberg kit for a friend that had a 1:1 back in the day. I am finding that most all the decals that came with the kit are breaking into pieces when transferring to the model. Does anyone know if anyone makes/sells "aftermarket" decals for this kit? I'm mainly looking for just the decals for the front and rear fenders, grill and rear valance. Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Round2 reissued that kit not too long ago. Try posting a request in the Wanted section. Someone probably has a fresher set with no plans of using them. You may also be able to buy a set from Round2. Worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 There are spray paints available that are designed to seal and protect older decals with issues like you have described. If you can't find replacement decals that my be something to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Plowboy, I’ll post something in the wanted section and also see if Round2 has a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Spray the remaining decals with Testor Ultra Gloss clear. It won't harm the decals and keeps them from crumbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Yes. You will need to cut closely around the decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
