It is excellent decal work, its the reason I've not bought this kit.

Looks excellent, and great collection there!

Me too!

Great progress so far!

Very detailed and great paint finish on the engine so far

It's a stunner considering all that you had to do to get it there!

Looks amazing, those yellow stripes in the interior look perfect

Fantastic paint job and the chassis looks great

Looks amazing Matt, really wanted one of these too!

High quality build my friend, its looking great...

Good luck buffing! every build has some paint issue, its inevitable...

Kurt, this is an amazing build, it's going to be a killer model!

Michael, absolutely amazing build, thanks for sharing all the tips along the way! All that bespoke carbon detailing would drive me nuts.

Stripes on, now I need to make my own windows, the kit supplied stuff is too thick.

Agreed, I've made it low so that it doesn't interfere with the engine bay lid!

Like my builds, it's coming along slowly, but also yours looks excellent!

Thanks Guys, this one has been on the bench and is now ready for the body shell... I've added the fuel filler in the engine bay.

I did mask the entire body for the black bits. It was quite a chor, nut when peeling back, some of the paint came with it and had to be redone.

Hi Bee, yes I'm going to use those stripes, as seen in this image, cut ready to be applied. I used tamiya soke acrylic for the panel lines, as it's not as extreme as black, but it is still too much. I tried to remove it, but it doesn't come out. So it's staying.

Thanks Bee and David! I will not be defeated, I'm on the home straight.

Hey, it's also one of my favourites! I guessed it was humidity or dirt, but could also have been too much thinner. It's been touched up now, and it's not great, but it's saved.

nice technique withe seams of the body components, I can't see myself having the skill or patience for that... coming along nicely! love it....

For whatever reason, i'm not sure why, I recoated with 2K Zero clear... it didn't go so well, lots of pitting in the paint. Happened also to my Airfix Ford Fiesta that a painted shortly before. I've have to do some agressive sanding & thats left 3 areas back to primer. in other areas the pitting remains. Also as you can see from the roof top - the aggressive sanding throught he earlier steps of the grades has left its mak. the pic of the front left corner of the car shows how glossy and smooth the paint was when it went on, smae there were so many errors. I'm not looking for perfection, so I'm going to mask for the black bits and run through to final assembly.... its another kit thats been on the bench far too long.

Spot on, looks amazing!

Looks chuffing amazing to me.
