Default Intakes & Fins, just about Primer-Ready

Hi, JeffyJeep. I'm just building two.
Can you believe I picked these models up for way too close to $11.99 a pop at the time of release? That's a whole lot of Fun (and Laser-Cut Lumber, and BT-60, and Engine Nozzle Detail) for $12!
Whew, talk about an exercise in Masochism, I can't believe I pre-painted the intakes. I doubt seriously that I'd do that again.

If these are early release kits the long intake decals might be wrong--in that they're all the same instead of having "rights" and "lefts".

Default Oh, Poop.

Hopin' against Hope; Fingers crossed. No Dice.

One's dated 09/11, the other's 02/16/12.

Wait! It's not the End of the World! I can just flip 4 of them, like HCMBanjo! Seems odd, but with conditioners & such, they just have to stick 'til I clear coat 'em.

Yes, that will work--since the decals aren't white backed. The way I did mine was since the model was going to be floor polished anyway, I brushed on a coat of floor polish and laid the "flipped" decal while the floor polish was wet.
