Carbon fibred RX7 R1

Well i have been a little bit quiet on the modeling front but seeing as i had some time i have started again, started this a few hours ago, still have to put the clear coat on the body, and build suspension but its all going to plan, and will be posting more pics as soon as i have done stuff.
Hope you like and god bless micro sol, for without that suff i would be still ripping my hair out, lol.

cheers guys, it was my first attempt with the carbon decal + microsol.

Gonna have to control my urge to carbonfibre everything, lol.

Yes it was the sas decal, was getting realy frustrated with the decals before i got the microsol, had 6 sheets of it and i was getting ready to chusk em, lol. this is all practice for when i build my enzo, going to have a lot of carbon on it.

Looking good so far, but I think you left a seam line on the right side of the front bumper.
