I'm beginning to think this is how I will tackle building the Fujumi kits for the1966 Lemans lineup of Mark II's. Just build them all t once. I have all the necessary decals. Great work and it will be cool to see them all finished.

Great work and it will be cool to see them all finished. thanks mustangrex, i'm not sure if this is the best way to build multiple kits. i think the only time saver is painting multiple parts at the same time. would be cool to see you tackle the gt40's . the problem with having so many great decal sets is you want to build them all and there are a lot of great gt40 decal sets.
a few wheel sets done and ready for knock off's

getting close to the finish. tried house of kolor clear uc-35 . a little decal wrinkle on the 6 car. i have a can of Zero Paint clearcoat lacquer, but was afraid lacquer would wrinkle or melt decals. has anyone used Zero Paint lacquer over decals ?

Wheels look great Bill. I have no advice on the clear, haven't used either product.

65slotcar, Those two shells look fantastic.
As for the single bottle of Zero lacquer gloss, I've checked them out as well, and both Zero & Gravity of Spain state that it's only for small applications, but no other information even after I emailed both for the reason why. I would think it's so that we'd gravitate to their Urethane method, which I just won't any time soon.
For a gloss coat over decals I use Mr.Color's C46 thinned 2 parts clear to 3 parts their Leveling Thinner. But I use a few lite tack coats, then 3 wet coats, with the last one having 10% more thinner. Never had a decal issue yet. Sure hope that I didn't jinx myself

Where are you getting the V-R-M decals? The web site has the Big Block Cobras listed as available soon for a couple of years, now, and I have gotten no replies to E mails. This is a very impressive build, both in it's scope. numbers. and results! Build on!

Frank, Steve from VRM was nice enough to let me purchase some cobra decals many years ago. from what i understand Steve has been very busy working on a home and he has finally fixed errors in cobra decal art work and maybe have them done for NNL East show. i hope he continues to make some of his up coming decal projects like cobra 2 and some shelby mustang decals because his decals are top notch quality with zero issue when applying a lot of clear over them.
