Back to work on the build, decals. I’ve never worked with Airfix decals until now and boy are they thin! Good thing I know a guy that can print white decals.  Working on the rear trailer doors today. I will have them open so what I am going to do is clear both sides of the door and once that dries, take some painter’s tape and tape them together then apply the decal. Once it dries, I’ll take a new, sharp blade and split the decal at the seam of the doors.  |

Good job Kenny! Do you have an Alps printer?

No I don’t. That was printed using my HP laser printer, Renee saved it from the dumpster at her job along with the toner cartridges, using the Ghost White toner cartridge for my printer.

Those decals look great on the side of the trailer.

I love it! I also did this kit but don't recall any issues with the decals. Maybe I'm just used to them. Yours do look better though!
