Sounds like too wet first coat. Good luck

Re: McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail

So new decal set arrived - I've got most of the way through. The scary part was the gill vents on the front wheel arch but I managed to pull it off I think. Also finished off detailing the engine bay.

Re: McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail

So this one is back on my bench - looks like I've lost some of the previous shots so here's some new ones.I reckon I'm about 90% there, the last tricky bit will be assembling the doors in the open position

Re: McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail

Has the kit gone together well? This is next on my bench, it will be a super detail of the Gulf/Davidoff livery.

Were you able to find reference photos for the bottom of the car? That is about the only thing that I haven't been able to source a photo for accurate reference!

Kit went together well - bit of an issue with the two engine covers not fitting quite right.

I don't have any shot of under the car either! Never came across any in my research.

I have been digging, watching videos, nothing! I have an acquaintance who knows someone with Mclaren in Texas. He is going to reach out to try and get me some info.
