I saw these decals and while I thought it very ambitious, I knew I wanted to take a stab at it. This is one of those decal sets where I need to provide more accurate scaling direction to Patto. at strictly 1:27, they are still a tad too big. In the future I will need to scale them by the hood lines to get a better fit.
This one is also a learning experience, much like the Stevenson Camaro. There is a lot going on and I tend to prefer doing as much in paint as I can vs. a decal job. This one though, I think the next one will try to at least get the entirety of the Hellcat logo in paint. I got the decal transfer to mask tape process down and can transfer that to the body much more easily than trying to position, reposition large decals. The graphic is rather basic as well, much easier than the Godzilla or Stevenson graphic for sure. I think trying the get the wispy flames in mask tape is step to far for me right now, maybe some point in the future though. I'd also like to custom colorize this livery next time to branch out beyond the stock color way of Red/Black with White flames. I think Jungle Green/Black with White flames would be nice. A 'low vis' version of this might be nice to. if I had thought ahead for this weekend, I could have it custom colorized to make it a true Red/White/Blue livery as well. Maybe next time...
