Built this early this year but was waiting for decals. Decided on the Mediterranean Shipping Company colours for the seacan.

Just the trailer, or the seacan too? I didn’t add much deck detail as the ‘tainer was going to be there.

Thanks Johnny, the red oxide finish didn’t appeal one bit and I saw stacks of these MSC ‘tainers (SWIDT) on t’internet.

Can you pm me?
Nice build. May I ask where you get the decals for the trailer? TIA
Hi Mike, thanks for that. I found the MSC decals here and all the load limit etc info was printed by Steve, a hobby buddy.

It would be easy to make the MSC decals yourself as well since they are all black. Just get some home-printer decal paper and design them in a graphics program like PowerPoint.

True enough Gino, but I wasn’t decided on the seacan color so this decal sheet made some sense. I will try making decals one day though.
On another note, what’s the best way to get rid of that glare on truck cab windows?
I was thinking of a flat wash………….
I would leave it. It looks realistic to me. If you add a flat coat, they will cloud up and you won’t be able to see through them.
Actual vehicle windshields glare/show a reflection.

You can cut a mask (3M Magic Tape) using a compass and a sharp blade. Base the size of the arc on the length of the wiper blades on your model. Apply the mask then spray with a LIGHT overspray of matte clear to simulate some small bit of road dust/grime.

Thanks Michael, nice idea.
You can actually get knife blades to replace the lead in a compass and cut the tape masks directly
