Super job on this 917K.  I have one in the line up.  Question:  Did you use the kit decals for the stripes?  Aftermarket decals?  Or did you paint them on?  If you painted them on, how did you handle the black pinstripes?

Thank you.

Started with Fujimi 917K 1971 Monza which had decals for the #2 car.  Went to Ebay and used the below decal/detail set to make the #1 Monza car.  Great photoetch parts, especially the wiper balde assembly.  Decals are pretty thick, so I patiently massaged them with softener and hairdryer.
