Tamiya Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro

I was always hesitant to build a bike but I got this one for free so I figured why not. I don't think it came out to bad for my first go. Fit and finish was excellent. I did have an issue with the decals completely dissintigrating due to being so thin,I hear it is common with this kit.

Very nice work and I like the exhausts in particular, especially the heat staining effect you applied. Try some Microscale Liquid Decal Film on your decals. The decals were probably old and that's why they fell apart. If you apply a coat or two of the Microscale product by brush, over the decals whilst they are still on the sheet, it will bond them together and stop them coming apart, it's very good stuff..

Lovely, especially the outside shot in the sunshine.

I tried spraying clear over them and they still fell apart somehow. I also used micro sol and they completely shriveled onto themselves, ruined. I'll place an order for the decal film and try that. Thanks for the tip!!
