So I just finished this little Italian job. The decals came out with a lot of the edges showing, which then got a lot worse when I added some washes. I used Microset on the decals, and then sealed them with Tamiya semi-gloss before the washes, but it actually looks like the washes got under the decals. Any thoughts?

It looks like you haven't spray gloss coat before you applied decals. Or decals didn't set well. There are two solutions. One is lacquer thinner. Put the thinner with fine brush in dots over the place where you have silvering. Thinner should destroy the film. If it raises paint under, just leave it, it will settle back. Important thing here is that, once you applied thinner, you shouldn't touch decal for something like 20 minutes, at least. Second way is mix of sugar and water, half - half. You make a hole with a needle on the decal, than you put mix on the top. It should enter in the space between decal and paint and, when drayed, make a gloss film in between them which will act as a gloss under the decal. Wipe excess mix with wet cloath and you are done.

Please see the album description 🙂

Very cool! But open once per month?!?

Yes, because the museum is on the company premises and a guided tour has to be organised. And of course a guide must also be available.
Some guests didn't show up, so there were only three of us visitors 🙂

Ahhh. A whole lineup. This is awesome. I need to get with it. Lol. The silver "Total" livery is the only one I've built but I love the 206 so I'd like to have some other versions.

Somewhere, I have Rossis Michelin 206 that I didn't finish to add to the collection.

That's excellent. My silver Total livery has the wheels from your Esso's in photo 1 and 3. Pretty sure I forgot to paint my door handles black as well now that you mention it. 😒 This definitely makes me want to get a couple more.

Lining up the lions is a fun challenge. Being my favorite livery, it explains why I did that one 3 times. It's the car I generally use on McRae 2.0, love it. I'm not so sure I forgot to paint the handles as much as I didn't think I could paint them without making a complete mess of things. And yet, I painted the Turkey 206 handle by hand. I will have to go back and correct that.

The lion livery is killer for sure.
