I'm working on my Bossnova kit, and I messed up on the build. I wanted the blower version, but I didn't realize that you couldn't use the roof scoop, which is also what I wanted to use.(I tossed the other engine parts) So I mocked up three possibilities and would like your opinions. I can turn the scoop and line it up with the blower, or cut the intake down, or really chop it and put the blower in the scoop. Also, my decals just disintegrated when I went to use them -anyone else have this problem or maybe they just got old ?

I agree. Shorten that tall intake so that the scoop partially portrudes from the roof, and cover it with the scoop facing forward! As for decals, I have had a bear of a time latley with decals. The best I have come up with is to soak them in cool water for about a minute, then let them soak longer on a paper towel if need be. Also if it is a old decal, I sometimes will spray a good coat of clear over it! But I am realing starting to want to play around with paint instead of decals! Jody

I agree with Jody. Shorten the intake so the injector hat (scoop, whatever it's called) is covered by the dog house (yellow sparkly box). I would face it forward. I can't help you decals, I can however, send you the set from my kit. I won't be using them. PM me.

Man, this kit isn't that old to have the decals waste away already. I guess it was made while Ertl was trying to get rid of the models, and they just didn't care, but can't see Dave Burkett letting that slide. Yep, shorten the extension, and use the cover, or just shorten the extension, and omit the cover.
