Well, so with your help I'll solve two mistakes :D
How did you manage to erase the red "C4"?

To erase things on plastic or mirror, i use a special product that my retailer gave me. It is a cream to polish the plexiglass. i don't remember the name, i will look and tell you, but i don't know if you will find it in spain or on internet ?Quote:

About the left mirror, it is hard to change its position, because a hole will stay if you change it. Ixo corrected the mistake on the 2008 C4 (redbull).
There is another difference on your car, the wheels. I personnaly used norev bases to realise 2007 tarmac version (excepted Irland version, ixo wheels are ok).
Sorry Ferran, i found another mistake. :(Quote:

I don't erase! If is a matt black plastic piece, I cover carefully with Vallejo's Matt Black applied with brush, let dry, and apply the rigth decal... If its satin or gloss black I paint over with Humbrol satin black, let dry, and apply the decal...Quote:

PD Quiz: who is the modeller.. Clue:japanese
I will be in London for Chistmas.
As I like to buy some (1/43 die cast rally cars) models any helpful adress in central London will be higly appreciated.
I always wanted a diecast model of the Fiesta S1600
I managed to get this from Ebay today
http://i17.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/01/45/7056_1.JPG
Is it going to look like this?
http://www.grandprixmodels.co.uk/fsw...ur300/24-7.jpg
Nope, its going to be a rallycross car
London model shops are not really devoted to model cars... In all my trips to London, I had only find a shop speciallised in model cars... Can't remember the right address, but is placed in the blocks at the rear of Trafalgar Sq, Nat'l Gallery,...Quote:

Mucho gracias.Quote:

Do you coat your decals in anything once applied to preserve them and stop them going yellow or peeling?
You can just use a standard clear-coat from a hobby shop. The reason decals 'yellow' is from sunlight. Keep the model out of the sun and you should be safe with peeling as well as yellowing. Peeling won't occur if you lay 3 coats of gloss clear on top. No worries ^^
What spray the whole model or apply by brush over the decals only? If so do you have to be careful to avoid brush marks/dust in the decal coat?
If the body has been stripped to a bare shell then that's awesome, just spray the whole thing.
If windows are in then mask them off well and spray light coats (although use enough to get a smooth finish and not the 'orange peel' look). I use the spray cans. Don't use a brush, will leave heavy brush marks and won't be even.
If you like, after the clear-coat has cured for about 2 days then use some polishing compound and this will give the 'real car' shine to the model.
Are your cars stripped or you are wanting to do it as a built model?
I apply micro sol decal softener first then apply the decal.Quote:

Just need to fit them now
Microsol is good stuff! It keeps the decal adhered to the model surface better as well as softening it to contour the shapes of a body.
I always use it when building my models as the softer a decal is when adhering it to the car the better it will hold too.
I used it on the RS1800 Mikkola Escort I built. As you can see the decal on the rear fender moulded perfectly and has never lifted since I built the car 5 years ago. Super happy with the result!

Since this rally, the "EnPro" logos have been replaced by "Samsung" logos and the black "pioneer" decals on the doors have become white.
