Lovely :thumbsup:

May I ask which aftermarket JPS decal set you used?

JPS and Goodyear decals are from Museum Collections (MC-d456) and
decals on tires are Tabu (12034-B).Rest (Valvoline and lines) are original
Cartograf items.

Impressive model! :worshippy

The level of detail and the very well done weathering are making it very a realistic looking model!
Exceptionally well done! :thumbsup:

PS: ow did you make the tires look so realistically scrubbed?

Beautiful, may as well be looking at the real car.

Hi

Superb looking '78! I love the way you have managed to make it weathered like the real thing. Dusty tires and exhaust - slight paintscratches on suspension, while the bodywork is as pristine as possible. Wonderful work of art. More! Bigger pictures! :-)

Flemming

awesome!!!
