Looks great! Nice black paint finish!

Great job so far --will be following!

I agree, I've been using the contact lens containers for the same applications, paints, glue etc -- great way to repurpose something that you may just discard! Glad you posted this.

Ismael -- Great job as usual!

Urs, great job on this, I'll be following!

Phil -- Great job on this -- just an FYI to everyone, STS decals has a set of this livery, you'll have to airbrush the sliver fade over the Blue on the sides, but all the other graphics are there. I think they also have a set of decals for the 'prototype' car. Contact Terry at STS Decals. Hope this helps,

Len-- That looks great loved the look of the '78 Pace Car -- I plan on doing that in 1/24 as well. Your Silver Anniversary looks great!

Jeremy/Len -- Will be following this, looks like you have a great start on the Vette! Not to hi -jack the thread, but a number of years ago I had a '79 L-82 four speed, Corvette Yellow with a saddle interior -- I build a 1/8 scale model of it from the '78 Monogram kit --modified to look like the '79. Here are a few pics -- Jeremy if you need any additional info let me know --I plan to do one in 1/24 scale as well! Good luck with your build!

Pierre -- Ford GT looks great!

Anton -- Thank you for the compliments -- this was a very difficult build, it was on the bench for over a year -- the body needed a lot of work to get everything to fit right and the decals were a 'bear' to layout on the car. Eventually it all came together and I got the 'stance' of the car to look correct! Noe onto to a C7R build! Every build like this teaches you new skills, that's what is so good about this hobby -stay with it!

Atin -- Thx for the compliments!

Len -- Thx for your advice on the decals and the hood -- I had to really trim the underside of the air intake on the hood to have it sit flush with the front fenders. The decals were a 'bear' to work with and get to fit correctly!

Ray/Jim - -Thx for the compliments, it's much appreciated. Tony/Tony -- The decal application was extremely challenging. I had some advice from a forum member who did a build of this car, which helped me put a strategy in place to best layout the decals. I resorted to photocopying the Pattos decal sheet and cutting this up into various pieces and placed on the model to minimize gaps in the decals -- the gaps were painted with Vallejo 'Black' which was an almost exact match to the black on the decals. When i cleared the decals with Tamiya 'Clear', it was almost impossible to see where the gaps were. It's not perfect, but came pretty close to replicating the 1:1. You learn with every build, that's what is so much fun about this hobby.

Great job, love the details!

Jim -- Thx, I have the C7r build on the list as well -- good luck with yours, hope to see it on the forum.
