Here are the instructions showing the decal number
The decal sheet
Decals cut out of the sheet. I know that I should trim these closer, but the cartograf decals are so good, I'm going to cut this corner this time.
A bowl of water for soaking the decals and Humbrol Decal Fix to "melt them on"
Into the water for a minute, here we go
First painted the decal setting solution on the part, then slid the decal in place, and used a brush to adjust it's position
Hmm...doesn't want to stick
In the meantime, I finished painting the backsides of these aero parts Tamiya semi-gloss black, the driveshafts copper, and the brake disk gun metal. (yes yes, I know F1 cars have carbon brakes, whatever, you probably won't even see this in the wheel anyway, besides, I can't justify buying flat grey when gun metal is so close)
The decal setting solution isn't "hot" enough, the decal won't bend to the contours of the rear upper suspension wishbone, not quite sure what to do about this yet
Total: 53 h
