Gulf BMW Z4 GT3
Doing a quick build of Fujimi's new kit with Gulf livery inspired by the Gulf Marine McLaren 12C.

Re: Gulf BMW Z4 GT3
A couple hours of masking, good practice for some F1 liveries I'll be doing later, and luckily no leaks after spraying on a mix of Tamiya TS15 and TS55. I'm pleased with the design.
  hmmm...what color for interior....

Re: Gulf BMW Z4 GT3

It's all airbrushed. You can do paint jobs like this from the can but you're going to have more tape bleed issues... and build the paint edges too high because of too much paint going on. It can be done but with an airbrush the control you have and chances for successful paint sessions is raised exponentially.
