My dry-transfer decals arrived and I couldn't wait to get started. The smaller ones that I used from the 1st set to do the serial numbers were a pleasure. The larger numbers and letters not so much. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. First up was the large '24' on the roof of the driver's compartment.
They did not want to settle down over the pistol port covers and cracked in several places requiring a little touch-up with white paint.
Next the rear armor over the gas tank received its markings.
A little easier as the area where they were applied was smooth. Next, the name "Crusty" applied to the bow.
It was difficult because of the tight quarters. The nice thing about dry-transfers is that they're easily removed with a piece of tape if you mess up. I messed up, several times. It was a tough fight, but worth it in the end. It adds a bit more visual interest.
There should be a 'C-24' on each side, between the track adjuster and the sponson. While each sheet contained a lot of letters, they only gave you two of each number in each size. Not a lot of room for error. I ran out of numbers due to mistakes. Guess I'll have to order another sheet and be more careful. Also managed to get a coat of paint on the base.
The contrast between the browns is not as stark as it appears in the photo, and it is just the base coat. Thanks for looking, all comments or questions are welcome.
