Did this for Joe Sander, a fellow member of the Silent Traffic club. His uncle used to race a Kurtis/Offenhauser midget that has since been restored and is in a local museum. After I did a similar job on his large scale GMP diecast midget Joe asked me to do the same treatment on the 1/25 Revell kit. A bit more of a challenge, but it came out OK.

Very nice. I'm coming up on trying to do something similar on a track-nose dry-lakes car. What did you use to mask those finely curved lines?

Thanks, guys! Your comments are much appreciated.

Bill, the tape I use to outline the scallops is 3M Scotch black opaque photographic tape. Cut in thin strips against a steel rule. I've had this roll since the '80s!
