Maybe I can slip a chassis under it and call it done.  |

Looks a mess with paper decals scotch taped to the body but this gives you an idea.  I want this to be the cover photo for the next issue of 'FineScale Modeler.' |

The article will be about how you painted it with straight Humbrol off a 2" sash brush. After decaling.
The Pulitzer's as good as yours.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I did my own decals (~2009)   Never again since... |

Sure would open up a lot of possibilities if you could make your own custom decals - I don't have those skills.  |

956s and Corvettes in Aeroflot livery. The mind reels. The shape of this thing, though. All planes and angles, with a few deliberate bumps, the whole of it smoothed like a bar of Ivory soap after one hot shower. There's just nothing it needs, to the eye.  |

JC,
I headed on over to the 3Amigos site and checked out their pre-printed decals which are priced very reasonably, then the tab for custom work. They also are priced very reasonably at $25-40, but do require that one submits their own graphics work, so that leds me out as I can't even draw as straight line with the aid of a ruler these days.

Joel, email Sam and discuss your project. www.3amigosdecals.netI found the various logos through internet searches and Sam did the rest. |

The Jolly Club 1980 Daytona 24 entry did have a full cage so I fabricated the front half.   |

JC,
The fabricated roll cage certainly is up to your standards. It's looks great.

That roll cage looks great! That’s the next skill I need to learn.
