I'm going to build the #14, Innes Ireland Team Lotus wiith BRG body and yellow wobbly wheels (Jim Clark's team car had black wheels, and Moss' car was Rob Walker Blue with white wheels). It was only about $25 (from Grand Prix Models in the UK) mainly because the decals were discolored. After a couple of months taped to a south-facing window though, they're almost back to pure white. The rest of the kit is perfect :D :D :D
Thank you for saying "months". I have never tried the system although I have heard about it several times. I would never have waited months and would have assumed the method did not work for me.

Thanks again,

Joe.

Did not expect that it works, but i will pave my windows now with a ton of old decals i have left over :mrgreen:

How about cracking? Have you tested this Greg? I expect there might be a problem with getting hard like a rock. The clear carierfilm can be cut off, seems not to work like on the white areas which turned white again.

They're still taped to the window, but when I get around to using them, I'll give a coating of Microscale Liquid Decal Film just in case (I'm only using the 3 "14" roundels). The last time I did this I had no problem with cracking. The decals seemed "normal".
