Question About the Kenworth RC blues.

Re: What do you people think of this plan?

I do want the challenge of assembling the truck myself.

I just need others to do the paint/decal/body/interior work for me.

Re: What is a good method for applying decals/stickers?

This is where water-slide decals have an advantage. They can be moved on the surface slightly, air bubbles can be gently pressed out before they dry and set.
