Thank you. I've been busy painting and decaling the car this past week.
Using my Rapido 'e' series sleeper and some photos I found online as a guide, I masked off the green to paint the black on the car. The lower lounge windows are lower than the sleepers so the green-black break goes through them.
I used model master engine black for the car and Tamiya masking tape for the masking job. The tamiya tape seems to work the best, producing a clean line every time.
I sprayed the whole car in Vallejo acryilc gloss clear before adding the decals. This lets the waterside decal blend in and adhere to the car body. The decals are from Black Cat but look like they were made by microscale.
The three stripes are actually different from each other and they have to be pieced together to make the entire length.
after applying all the decals on one side I brushed micro-set on them to settle them down over the etching on the car sides and remove any silvering on the edges. After that had all dried, I did the same with the other side.
I then sprayed the car down with the gloss clear again to seal the decals. In a few days I'll respray in a clear matt finish.
