Putting decals on a truck trailer - part 2

 

I continued with the decals, adding both long sides, the back, and then additional smaller details on the refrigeration unit:

Overall, it is okay but there are defects on the long sides:

• In some areas, the light gray color vanished
• In some other areas, there were "cracks" in the decal

I don't know if those issues are due to my inexperience, the quality of the decals, or the decals solutions ...

Here's the finish product:

Putting decals on a truck trailer - part 1

 

Many of the train formation I'm interested in use the Lohr freight wagons that carry truck trailers. Not all designs/liveries are available as miniature trucks, so I thought it would be good to learn how to apply decals on a trailer.

In this case, I bought the decals first, rather than getting the decals from a photo I saw.

Decals

I bought those decals from Max-Model in Italy:

Prototypical truck

Bartolli is a truck rental company near Florence in Italy:

And here are some pictures of the trailer:

Miniature trail

The base is a blank trailer from Herpa. I applied the first large side based on the method detailed before.

It needs to dry for a day, so let's check back again soon ...
