the engine chassie and interior all mocked up,

The whole thing looks real nice. Where did you get the CF decals?

looking good - those seats look fab!

Good looking start so far

Where did you get the CF decals?

ordered them form scale motorsport, there set has a template for this kit printed on the back, helped out a lot.

welcome to AF, great skills you have, the interior is awesome. cant wait to see it all finished.

I simply love criticism becouse allow me to increase my skills, it's really hard to be impartial with our models

isn't your case: good starting so far :)

Amazing CF work Michael !! I'm currently working on a GT as well but I refused the 100% CF lining. :iceslolan

What about the final color?

Bye: Robi

I'm going to do the body in red, inspired by this (http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_0410_lemansporsche/index.html) (motortrend test car)

CF is looking great so far! I dig the red Motor Trend CGT, and I'm sure I will dig yours when it's done. :)

Put spacers in to push the wheels farther out. God I love that shot form the rear.

Welcome and lookin good so far...

Spacers look great. :wink:

Looks great.
the C/F in the underpanel is looks cool!

wow you got some serious skills dude !!

great job so far. excellent work on the cf and the details. Cant wait to see the body with some colour on it

looking good!

Good work, looks great so far.........:sunglasse

Updates, I've managed to finish the everything but the body. the body however has once agian had problems, when I layed down the first coat of red it went down way too thick, going to have to sand down the bad spots tomarrow :banghead:. At this point I have lost any faith I had in spray cans, I'm going to decant the paint (Tamiya TS-8) and spray it with my airbrush. :banghead:
now for pics.

completed shots, on the front a big pice of CF flaked off, I decided it wosn't worth messing with since the thing was already fully asembled and the spot wont even be visable once the bodys on.

Thats all for now fokes, now leave some feedback and come back in a couple weeks, shoud be close to done buy then.

nice!

looks great i cant wait to see the final paint!

Looks very promising. Keep it up.

And you are sure right about that shot from the rear!!
