I've only managed to remove one decal completely - used a pad of cloth soaked in warm water and washing-up liquid (dish soap?)

Rick. Very nice

Thanks for the input Peter, I shall keep that in mind for future reference. I actually got it off using Si's suggestion.......there was a price however, the paint also softened so
I had to repaint the door. No big deal and I'll give it a clear coat tomorrow and redecal it.

Thanks Lee, I had hoped to finish this before the start of the G/B........oh well.

Well at least it wasn't a complete respray Rick. Glad you managed to save it. How many Red Cross vehicles will this be once completed?

 

[Mini Me]

Right you are Mr. Jones .....one knackered door won't ruin the build. I haven't even put a small dent in the first sheet..........they are 81/2 X 11 you know.....The super small economy size. My count of Red Cross vehicles is up to 9 presently but I have a confession to make......I dropped a ton on evilbay last night and there are several new prospects enroute as we speak....the numbers will probably rise dramatically in the coming months. Thanks for stopping by, Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Rick. I’ve done the same thing on Sleezbay. Can we have a hint what’s up next when they get here? You now have me hooked on the Red Cross Med cars. I’m looking at one in 1/48 scale just like the first one you did a couple weeks ago. Keep up the good work

 

[Mini Me]

Yes Lee.......They should start arriving by weeks end. I know what you mean about the Red Cross vehicles......I bought another Citroen just to have one in the stash (I'm Sick) Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

previous post was moved to proper thread. Sorry for any confusion. Rick H.

Well, after another attempt I finally got a good decal on the right side door. After that it was all the light lenses (this Baby is loaded) and finally I got the fender pennant installed and the mast painted. Next up is a bit of weathering washes and some dry pigments to finish it off. Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Rick. Looks very nice

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Lee. Hope to finish this up soon so I can concentrate on the Mr. T build. Glad you dropped by. Rick H.

Rick

A top notch job all round. I struggle sometimes with 1/72, so I don't know how you do it.

Thanks Andy......I sometimes wonder myself. :thinking:

 

[Lee Drennen]

Rick. Real quick what did you make the lights out of? They looks really good

 

[Mini Me]

MV Products lenses Lee. Been using 'em for years.......in this scale you need all the whistles and bells you can get to add that touch of realism. Glad you like them.

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Rick they are very convincing

 

[Steve Jones]

I enjoyed this build Rick. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with all the Evilbay models. Should keep you out of trouble this winter

Thanks Gents for following along. This is now posted in completed soft skins if you are curious as to how it finally turned out. Rick H.
