Started this a while back, got around to polishing the paint job today.

on my kit the upper cowl was really warped so I ended up just gluing it together lol

Looking good. I have the 003 kit with the bullnose because that was the car that was pushed past me back to the pits, Stewart sans helmet at the wheel, after the last practice at Zandvoort — my first F1 race (he wrecked early in the rain-soaked race).

What coating products/colors did you use. I have the Zero Paints "Tyrell Blue," but after my experience with my B192 using their paint, I'm questioning whether it's a wise choice. (Full disclosure: it was my first experience with an airbrush, much less spray paint in general.)

I just use Mr.color paints I find they work great and never give any problems

Beautiful work and the color looks fantastic. I'm about to start this kit and I'm looking for the right paint. I tried Ts15 recommended by Tamiya, decanted and airbrushed on a spoon and, as I suspected, it's too dark, perhaps ok for the P34 that appears to be darker on photos. The problem is that there is so many options : AK real colors, Gravity, Cobra motor paints, Zero paints (I won't try that), ...etc. I'm tempted by Gravity (as I need other paints from them, and saving on shipping would be ok too) or Mr.Color, was one jar enough for everything ? And did you use a white primer ?
