Very impressive. These are so well done. Thanks for sharing.

Monsieur Joseph, You have done it again, sir! This is stunning and I agree with the method of not using a clear coat on these early models. It really gives it that "scale" look. It is also a more difficult option whilst risking burn through of the paint.

Thanks, there are a few flaws in it if you look closely but I tried to overcoat it with multiple layers of Future floor polish and then level it to hide the issues. If I had to do it again I think I would probably cut a couple of narrow "v"'s in the front of the decal to allow it to conform better to the curve of the roof line. Then use some solvaset and heat to get it to shrink at the outset. I think I waited too long to try this.

Thanks everyone

Great effort. You really shrunk this 1:1 example

You should be proud. Great example

Thanks everyone

Thanks, and Jim, the kit supplies precut masks and detailed instructions for masking the windows.

Thank You

Thanks everyone. This kit is a joy to build with the exception of the cf roof decal which wouldn't conform and seems to be a problem for everyone.

Out of box build in Scalefinishes Porsche "Geyser Gray Metallic" and UPOL clear coat. Wheels painted with Ford Candy Red (no clear coat). Loved the kit with the exception of the roof CF decal. I did my best with it.

Looks good to me. I have to build one of these in white with royal blue stripes

Love the perfection of this build!

I like it......alot!

Leo, I really appreciate your offer. I have thought of the copier method bc I have some Scale Motorsports Carbon Fiber decals (although not sure if the same pattern). I have never heard of the warm wash cloth method. I tried the heat gun method as I do with other CF decals and it didn't work with these. Right now I am still working on making these work before I totally give up. I have brushed multiple coats of Future to "bury" the wrinkles or stubborn areas, then like leveling paint when polishing, I am using 4000 grit sanding sheet, coating again, and repeating the process until the clear is level. It is slowly working I think.

Hello all, Unfortunately, while building this kit and applying the carbon fiber roof decal, it failed to conform to the curves leaving wrinkles that couldn't be overcome. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who have built this kit without using this decal and would be willing to part with it? If so msg me. Thanks, Gil

Bertrand!!!! That is killer. You did a fantastic job on this. I am glad to see it completed, and so clean.

Both of your builds are terrific, and Mustangs too!!!! I don't know if you realize, but there is a separate category to post NASCAR builds

Very Impressive! Everything is perfectly done.

very nice

I did this a looooong time ago. This is my local police dept rendition of a cruiser I was assigned to back in the 90's. I added an custom aftermarket light bar, texture to the front seats, made the back seat a one piece safety seat with restraint system, and home made decals from photos of the actual markings of the 1:1 car.

Excellent effort. Looks like it is on the showroom floor. I love all you did with the engine compartment

Nuts, just nuts! But the good kind. Lots to like about this.

Very nice rendition and clean build. I always like the look of the base model wheels on these older cars.

Thanks guys, and I am pleased to announce that my Buick took first place in my club's annual model show for the domestic/stock category. ?
