Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!

I finally had the time to finish this model. What began as a weekend project turned into a month long nightmare. :banghead: The first coat of paint was unsuccessful and I had to strip and repaint. I'm still not 100% happy with it but it'll do. I used Studio 27's photo etch sheet and S27/SMS/Modeller's CF decals. Anyway, enjoy the pictures and give me some feedback. :)

Thanks for the comments guys. :) I'm currently working on my next project, a Tyrrell Yamaha 023. It's nice to build something with an engine.

Nice job on the decals as i know how much of a pain they are, ecspecially the red ones. Looks really nice, the hood only shows small flaws, but everything else looks sweet. Pity tamiya did a horrible job on the interior though.

Yeah, that was because some pieces of cat hair got blown on it. :banghead:

The red decals didn't really give me any trouble... the Cartograf decals reacts very well with the microsol.

I tried making the interior a bit more interesting by covering it in CF, but yeah, I agree it's a bit plain. :rolleyes:
