Italeri Manx Norton 1/9

My god this thing is crude to the extreme, i would imagine a fair proportion of these things wind up in the bin by page 2 of the useless instructions
Anyway it would probably be boring if it was easy but sometimes these days i do dream of Tamiya .
Todays problem is probably my fault but, what turns black decals white when you clear coat them ?
I'm sure i found a solution before but cant remeber ...lol , i think it was ether temp or them not being properly dry ?

fortunately i have failed in the past to build this to any standard so i have a spare set of decals.

You can see here i need to completely finish the oil tank as its sandwiched between the frame halves. It could go in after the frame is joined but its going to be a real fiddle and its risks damaging the paint. You can see here on this mock up

Happy with the crank case colour, in the end its not one colour but a mix and an airbrush job but it looks like a raw alloy casting i think..
