Heller 1/43 Peugeot 905...

Here's an oldie, the plastic Heller 1/43 Peugeot 905. This kit had the worst decals I've ever successfully applied. They were as stiff as cardboard, had NO adhesive and were VERY brittle. The only touch-up I had to do was on the colored striping. Done about 15 years ago.

Very nice! I've always liked these cars. I've encountered those decals on some old Heller aircraft kits. They are truly horrible. How did you get them to work.

I actually tried all my usual tricks and was about to trash the thing when I spotted my Micro-Scale Decal Film container. I used it as a glue to hold then down and put another coat over them after they were in place, then I clear coated with Future. The only one to come up at all is the tiny "905" on the rear deck.

Built one of those years ago. Didn't have any problems with the decals. One thing that did impress me was that the plastic was so pure & opaque, that I didn't even paint the white - just left it bare plastic.
