Great to see a 1/43 build , this looks great , nice decal work . I built a few old 1/43 Starter kits and I coated the old decals with Testors Decal Bonder which helped to save the decals . I have used Pattos decals as well .
This is a really nice build , great work on the decals . I hear what you are saying about the decals , I built one of these and the decals were dreadful , just like plastic .
The headlights are from the kit , they are used on the Le Mans versions . The decals on the louvres are small separate pieces . Thanks for the nice comments guys .
