Hi Ken, again, great models (and some great ideas too), a joy to watch them. Just keep 'em coming!

I saw these only now. Fantastic work and models, all of them!

Hi Rich, congrats on finding and building one of these fine kits! I am working on the same kit as we speak. 🙂 Had a lots of trouble with the decals from 2001 which fell apart after contact with water. I trust I will manage to save the rest of them though, using Microscale liquid decal film. However, my decals look much darker than yours. Probably this is also due to their age or bad storage. Anyway, Le Mans Decals has them on sale so I ordered them in 1/24 scale. The decals I got from them are waaaay out of scale, much too wide/ big. I contacted them about it, but as usual, they didn't reply. I then did some maths to find that their decals maybe could work in 1/32 scale (which they also sell). So I decided to order them in 1/32 aswell but as it turns out, they were a bit to small. As there is no other alternative on the market and I really don't want to PAINT these graphics... I am left with using what I have, the original kit's decals. I am posting an image below to show all 3 sets of decals (kit's decals, Le Mans Decals in 1/24 and 1/32 scales). I think the "size problem" is obvious... 😐

Many thanks Carl!

Thanks a lot!

Many thanks guys!

Well done Helmut, I like it! What about the naca duct intake in the center of the hood, did you do that yourself? It‘s not included in the kit‘s body, right?

Mouthwatering build of an iconic car - phantastic work!

Many thanks Helmut. The task for this was to lay the decals down smoothly in the right shape, but without creating the „gaps“ from the louvers. I used lots of decal softener and a brush to „massage“ the right shape into it. After that I sealed it with Future/Pledge prior to applying the clear coat as I was afraid the clear would burn those gaps into the decal anyway. I‘ve had this happen with other kits before.

In case this is a compliment, thank you 😉

Thanks Larry!

Many thanks and yes - built OOB.

Many thanks guys!
