Bit of a frustrating build due to paint reaction problems plus the fact that the paint & c/f decal chipped off when I added the rear lights (probably due to too many coats of paint & Tamiya's tight tolerences :mad: ) - anyway here's the completed pics :

Wow I like this car. Nice paint job.
The carbon parts are very nice and the rims are great.

I wish all my frustrating builds turn out looking that nice, usually the really frustrating ones end up back in the box half built.
Looks great, The wheels set the paint off perfectly.

The c/f decals got a couple of coats of Johnson's Klear floor polish.

What kind of paint did you use?
The paint is Halfords Acrylic Nissan Silver auto touch up paint plus Halfords clear lacquer - I automatically assumed that the base coat needed clear but with hindsight I should have checked (it could be that a clearcoat isn't necessary hence the reaction I got in places) - live & learn !.
Thanks for the comments everybody
