Have fun Robin, and those decals may take longer than you expect ;)

Here's mine that I built some time ago:

Thanks you.

And now I have to live up to your Z. Yours looks spectacular.

If you're using Tamiya TS-13 wait at least four weeks(preferably longer) before applying it over your base color.It has a different cure rate than the colors and WILL crack if applied too soon.

Those louver decals aren't as bad as they look.I did one of the older Skyline GT-R race cars with that same situation.I was prepared for difficulties and was pleasantly surprised when nothing bad happened-and I didn't even need any setting solution to make the pieces snuggle down!

Yes, I know about the ts-13 and I've waited 2 or 3 weeks now so I'm not rushing it.

Tamiya are kind enough to cut the decal over the vents into multiple pieces. So all and all no worries.

Thanks all for the kind comments!
