Hi all
just pondering on doing a little painting and was wondering how important it actually is to lacquer over the decals, it would appear that the original decals are just on top of the original paint...any ideas ???
thanks

Re: Decals
John,
I believe the decals are on top.
Mine are anyway

Edit: I mistook 'decals' to mean the ones like 'don't spill brake fluid on the paint, you dolt'. Those are stuck on top of the laquer. If your question was about the tank stripes, they're definitely under the laquer!

Re: Decals
fuel tanks were normally under lacker, to stop fuel taking stripes of etc... side panels , not so common if at all. Gary
