If you use the testors decal paper you can clear coat that stuff.
Just print the same decal on the white paper and lay it over the top.
It may not look quite as good but its not bad.
You will have to clear the hole sheet and then cut it out or
it will not work very well.

Running a larger axle will help allot. If your rules alow a bigger non scout axle see if you can run a set of 1gram wheels. Together this will give you the.020 you seek and much more.

Jake went with fenders this year so we will see how it turns out. They will match the wheels better once the axles ar bent. He ...

That looks sweet!

Have you thought of using a frosted piece of plastic for the top?
It may spread the light more evenly and hide whats under it.

Its on page three under oldie but goodie.

ROCK ON!
