McLaren GTR longtail. FINA

I stated this one about a year ago and then put it away to get the decals that I wanted for the kit. This is the Aoshima kit. The carbon decals are from ST 27 which are way to shinny and Tamiya fine . Thank lol be using the Scale Motorsports detail set. There carbon sheet only does the outside of the car.

Looks real good so far Tim.  Carbon fibre is an artform all by itself and it looks like you have it mastered.

The CF looks great so far!

It’s been a while since I added to this. Here are some new pictures. Carbon is from studio 27, Tamiya and Scale Motorsports. The threaded hubs can from a MFH FXX transkit. It’s been a challenge with this kit. You really need to look at what and where the carbon goes. A bunch of it isn’t seen.

I have the Gulf version in my stash. Taking note on how it’s done!

Great work so far. The carbon decals look fantastic. I've never used them before (I'm a bit scared!), but I hear that the Scale Motorsports ones are the best?

Lovely detailing all round, and the heat effected paint on the exhaust looks convincing.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you.. just a heads up the Scale Motorsports kit for carbon does the outside of the body. The interior set is the studio 27. The decals are not that bad. You need setting solution and a hair dryer. I use a square tip brush . Helps to work the decals into body lines . Body was painted today.
