 A trial, especially the staircase

 A trial, especially the staircase

I remember there was a trick to that ... it was either fixing it the 'wrong way round' to what common sense would tell you, or upside-down ... the instructions made a point about it which I couldn't figure out for quite some time. I built it back in '65, I think.

 Nice to see Brian

I am starting to build a b type Billy bus - a kit from the 1970s (bought on eBay). However, struggling with decals. Do they slide off when immersed in water like modern kits or do I cut out and glue on to model? Would appreciate some help as I have never constructed a model from this decade before. Thank you.

The kit should include a sheet of graphics printed on white card. These need to be cut out, they're not decals and stuck to the bodywork of the bus. There might also be a waterslide sheet, usually printed on a bluish colour backing sheet, these can be cut out and immersed in water to release them

[T2B]

Depending on the actual decade of release the waterslide decals could be on white backing paper which has probably yellowed by now and could be very fragile?
