Re: Peugeot 905 evo 1 bis / Heller 1/24
To help decals to settle on uneven surface, Tamiya suggests to use a hot towel to press it down slowly. I have use this method before and it really help. Try to fix the high points first and fix the decal into the low points.
For complex shapes you have to use multiple sections. Don't worry, the real parts are made like this a lot of times.
As for paint bleeding through mask, you can either seal the mask edge with clear paint or the color that the mask is to cover. Once the seal is dry, you can paint the next color.

When I'm getting tricky decals to conform to uneven surfaces I use microsol and a hairdryer, apply the microsol, let it wet the decal for a couple of minutes and then give it a light warming with the hairdryer. Repeat this process a few times. Everything Gradually settles down perfect, no wrinkles. CAUTION, be careful with the hairdryer not to overwarm the plastic, just a light warming.

Some paint jobs done. Some Will need a little correction.
Re: Peugeot 905 evo 1 bis / Heller 1/24
Another little progress today.
Add Carbon , extra wires, seatbelts and Some decals to the cockpit drivers section.
First time I try this. For the moment, I’m pretty happy with the result.

Looking great! Very nice work on the cockpit tub. That extra carbon decal work has really paid off.

The detailing is really making this an awesome build of a very sub-par kit.

Looking very good

Another update.
Still struggling with the tamiya extra thin paint eating into my paint job. So retouching is necessary. Trying to glue the cockpit, engine to the chassis. The body should fit correctly.
Added Some decals. I’m using a mixture of the original sheet and an extra shunko sheet.
Hope you like it So far.
