Looking good there Paul, one thing, is there decals for the front lights to mask them or do you need to paint them? Just curious as the box art shows clear lenses while the production car has vents etc.

i am making progress......honest! lol

just very slow progress........some very dodgy decals considering i only bought the kit a few months ago.......very fragile, had a few break up

im trying to get all the red/green swirly bits done first since they are the largest

Outstanding work Paul keep up the good work.

Starting to come alive now paul. The decals youve put on so far look perfect, cheers tony

 

[PaulTRose]

just to show im still working on this.......... finding i can only do 3 or 4 decals at a time cos they are so delicate, coupled with my lack of time at the bench at the mo means its becoming a long job

 

[PaulTRose]

finally got the decals done!

cant believe how long this has took, the decals were horrible to do, had some break up, some totally dissolve!!

next step is the panel lines, then i can crack on with it.......this has taken so long i just want to get it done

[PaulTRose]

You gonna be brave and clear coat it??Jason

nope lol....it had two coats before the decals went on, and they were such a pain im not going to risk doing something that might damage them

Want to see it finished yet
