Have you done a Castrol Supra?

[ac2539]

I just started a Castrol Toyota Tom's Supra GT. But...its just my second Model Kit...and Im very VERY inexperienced...and I havent done anything with paint or anything like that. (Yeah...it makes the cars look crappy, I know.) And I am having troubles with the decals...I tryed to put the rim decals on yesterday, and they kept coming off...How do I do it? And if anyone has done one or is working on one, can I see some pics?

the instructions tell you how to do the decals!
read the instructions!

Perhaps u soaked the decal for too long? The best way I find is to drop them into the water (not the whole sheet - obviously ) for a few seconds just to soak, then take them out and place on tissue paper. Just leave the decal for a short while until it slides off the backing. There is enough water soaked into the paper to do this, meaning there is no need to leave them floating around in a bowl of water as this will only wash away the adhesive!

Hope this helps.

lol, your a beginner and you pick one of the most decal filled bodies kit to build......ok.

lol, how can you get the decal wrong? Get a warm cup of water, cut the decal out, throw it in, let it there for like 4 seconds, then take it out, wet you hands on the water and softly rub the decal, when it slips a little bit, depending on the size, place it again the surface and slide the paper out.

Hey all.. take it easy on the guy, we were all newbies at some point.

Just paint the body and do the bigger decals

DAM NEWBIES!!! haha j/k

ok well.. this is what i do when i do decals, make sure the surface is clean.. then cut out the sticker and totally submerge it in water for like 3 seconds....

pull it out, the decal won't want to come off yet, but give it a few more then it should be able to slide, then slide it into place and just try and push it flat with ur finger.... then get a dry cloth and press down on it (STRAIGHT DOWN) to get the excess water out.

just try and u'll find a way that will work for u

uhh well u all are all newbies. well on this site neways. but a nother helpful tip is after u apply it dab it with a washcloth to wipe off ne excess water so it can dry faster. and dont try to do them all at once casue u could slide anohter one at of place and it could dry crocked. and nobody wants crocked decals on a model.

Yep...done it.
Very nice kit...haven't got any better pics apart from this one here.

Try some Micro Set or Microsol to help them stic on.

Decals in this kit are very sensible. I worked on it and you must be very carefull while you work with it. They are not good as other Tamiya's decals.
