Excellent build and interpretation! The antique white is an appropriate choice and something we almost never see. Where did you get the decals made?

I agree. Excellent build. The decals are a perfect upgrade. I fresh sharpie or a high quality marker can be used for striping the raised detail. I think it looks fine without the stripes. Excellent work!

Did that have a Corvair engine? Great build! That whole series (Guber Wagon, Meter Cheater, Moon Mixer, T-Bone Stake) had Corvair engines in them.

Excellent build and interpretation! The antique white is an appropriate choice and something we almost never see. Where did you get the decals made? I created the set (in Adobe Illustrator) and printed them out on laser decal paper. I been using Sunnyscopa Waterslide Decal Paper for LASER Printer (Amazon). Works great. After printing, trimming and applying, you use a little squeegee (extra) to smooth out the water. After a couple of days (or ~twenty minutes with a blow dryer), they are stuck.

So you use a color laser printer? Which one? At home I was using a HP Color LaserJet MFP 281 until the prints started to come out faded. My office go to is a older Xerox Phaser 7500. You need to make sure your paper type is set to something like "Thick Glossy" or "Heavy Cardstock" The best part about color laser prints is that you don't need to spray coat them before laying them down, so they stay fairly thin.

That germ-free white makes for an exciting looking model! I feel sterile just looking at it...or something like that ! . Excellent decal color choices and beeeeyoutiful engine finish too! If that were the box art it would have made me buy the kit.
