I just finished assembling this kit but I was surprised that the instructions didn’t mention the placement of the included decals.

The photos on the box don’t even provide a hint.

Has anyone else put this kit together and what did you do with the decals?

Thanks,

D

I recently finished that project and had the exact same question. Since the tank is a reasonably close approximation of one the Texas & Pacific had in one of its Ft. Worth yards, I decided not to use them at all, but to follow a color photo (mid/late 40s) that shows the prototype with a large T&P diamond herald and nothing else. I’ll keep the decals and if other photos turn up suggesting placement, I MAY decide to use them.

Thanks Mike! I was planning on the same thing but just wanted to be sure before I start weathering.

Thanks!
