This was my first Revell/Monogram kit. I was at first intimidated by the
decal and where to
mask off the body to hide the color separation line under the decals. The
entire side art is
one hugh decal. After listening to all the advice from the guys and gals
on the Randy
Ayers Site (See Links) I decided to do the color separation line straight
down from the
front lower corner of the rood pillar to the bottom of the quarter panel.
That way the little
"V's" hide the separation line and the side and top sixes are all aplied
over the Testor's
dark blue and subsquently all looked the same. I also cut the hugh decal
into two at the
bottom of the window line and placed each on separately. I was prepared to
"doubleup"
the 6's but I felt it was unnecessary as it looks kinda good. I have to
thank the guys on the
board for the advice on this one as I avoided their boo boo's on this car.
The Revell
Taurus roll cage is too narrow to fit over the lower chassis and either
has to be widened
or the chassis recess that it fits into be narrowed. I chose to dothe
second option as I felt
that would result in the least problems fitting the bosy later. I also
removed the rear
location pins on the rear wheel wells as they do not line up with the roll
cage. I also
assembled the roll cage minus the top front cross member and the diagonal
cross
member prior to painting the chassis as a unit. This was the first time I
did this and have
applied this technique to all my NACAR's from this point onward.
