Just one concern about the Michelin logos on the tyres, those are the early 1990's "italic" type, you should change to the older ones, the straight 60-70's one.

The kit is very poor, there is almost nothing inside, it does not come with seats, gear, pedals, etc. It has no engine and a fit is a horror, needs a lot of sandpaper and patience. The transparencies are thick and the headlight lens does not fit at all, there are horrible fissures ... I covered everything with the tapes.

I've been searching the internet and found three brands (LS - mine, Monogram and ARII) for the same kit, one comes with different wheels than they came in mine (more accurate with the original car). The decals are OK. The headlights, 'blinkers' and backlights are injected in white plastic, I had to make mine in transparency to get a little better.

About the MICHELLIN logo, I'm not sure I have the stencil to paint, if I have it, I'll change, thanks for the tip.

I found some reference pictures of the real car, made changes in the interior, remade the seats and painted blue, painted the steering wheel to look like wood ...


I'm going to clean the Michelin brands.


Home made decals and backlights
