Porsche 917K continuation adding the wheels to the chassisSo with the wheels decals done, I can now add the two remaining tires to the rear wheels and glue the tiny valves into place after this they are to simply screwed to the axles on the chassis like Nigel found out they’re not a great fit. They wobble all over the place though they look the part, so that’s good enough
With the wheels fitted it is now time to start the decaling and I have to say that the decals are superb. They go down really easy. (One word of caution here if anybody is making this when you come to fit the second decal on the bonnet with those little cut outs on it make sure that you cut the back piece of the triangle because it hasn’t been cut and you’ll have a problem getting it to set down if you don’t) They need just a bit of persuading to get rid of the wrinkles but other than that they’re fine they are then coated with MICROSOL setting solution and I’ve gone as far as I can at the moment as I’ve gotta wait for these decals already added to dry properly as to finish off the door decals. I’m going to need to tilt the model and I don’t want to handle it with wet decals on it
Apologies for the way the photos have come out they always come out above the text and this time they’ve come out back to front so instead of you showing the wheels with the valves being added it showing you the completed car to the stage I’ve got to it should be the other way round. I’ve tried to figure this thing out and I cannot get the text or the photos to go where I want them to.
