Well I did have some time today to apply the decals to the set. There were a few coats of lacquer applied to the set to smooth out the surface. There will be many more coats applied now to bury the decals into the finish. I was surprised to find out that the finisher never uses grain filler, instead he simply shoots lacquer and sands until he gets a glass smooth finish (if that is the goal). I'm very happy with the progress so far and can't wait until I see the finished product.





The sides of the set are a bit darker than the front and top. I would have been happier if they were the same color. The lighting accentuates this fact a bit more than what it looks like in person.





The decals are not 100% where they were before, but I think unless you had a picture next to it you'll never notice.







Now to get back to the chassis!
