The Porsche is on the back burner for now, it needs a lot of patiance with all those Carbon decals. I'll pick that one up in between building other stuff.
I orderd this kit last year and it finaly arrieved a month back, but if just kept calling me out so.......... I took it out and started building it.

Tom, you're doing some spectacular work on this kit, but the raised lettering behind the gas tank (and possibly out in front of it) need to be sanded off so they don't detract from all the effort you've put into this.

Extremely nice clean build. I can definitely second the opinion about this being the best flocking job I have seen.

I do agree with you on this. But to be honost i forgot. And I got luckey. With the body on the chassis you can't even see it.
