I followed everyone's advice but I had no luck with this f**** decals...
I did everything hot water,patience,decal solution but they refused to cooperate... Plus using the cal fic I can't now fix my mistakes that might be fixed If decal fix wasn't applied... The decals denied to lay straight,denied to stick to the curves and of course some tore apart in my hands... Id on't know if this is general or I was unlucky but I don't reccomend attemptin the decals on this model if you are not a very experienced modeler... Here are some tips on how to apply the decals if you ever attempt too(tips I don't followed and I eneded up with this ugly result) 1.Plan carefully which decal goes where. 2.Split the car in sections and start doing it section by section.(It's better to take one week than to look like my model) 3.The kit requires some painting(which is not stated no where)to complete the racing martini theme. 4.Where ever is a curve or the decal is too big,cut the decal in smaller pieces with an exacto knife and then place it. 5.Use warm water(not too warm though since It's going to destroy the decals). 6.After all decals are placed adn dried now place the decal solution. 7.Leave it to dry for 2 days. 8.Clear coat it. 9.If everything went OK you are a lucky man and you know have a great model in your collection... Well that was my advice I'll now give you some pics...In the first pics you an see the major mistake and destroyed/shrinked decals while the last pics show more of the car and a test fit with the chassis...       Hope you find my advice useful...

These was really a difficult project...
From the plastic wing that srinked after paint for no real reason to the really bad decals...However I put some time on it and I'm in a dilema: 1.Remove the decal and try to make the paintscheme with masking...It will be difficult but rewarding but the base kit is so lame so I'm not sure it deserves it... 2.Throw it out of the window or something...J/k The second option is to paint in the some blue my GT2 is and get them together on display... Dunno I'd love some help!!!! A big thanks to everyone for it's good words...Thank you!
