finally a update

I finished all CF decals on the body + the normal ones... CF around the headlight was a major pain in the *ss.. But patience and Micro Set + Sol worked after some tries. One thing I noticed are the two red (or yellow depending on which car you build) stripes at the front which are really hard to apply nicely. But the real problem is that they are to small, they should cover a bit more of the hood...
I think painting them would be easier and better but I just didn't have a suitable orange in my workbench...

Oh and last little tip the driver names have to be placed right above the orange stripes on the doors and not on the roof!! The instructions are a bit misleading... but luckily I noticed it soon enough

I couldn't resist... I made a little testfit for the big spoiler. And I think I found the perfect model for the Racingminiatures CF base. opcorn: opcorn:


It looks like almost finished but there's still a lot to do... now I let everything dry properly then I can apply another coat of Finisher's 2K clear (to get that nice tone of the green back...) and in the meantime I can make some more progess on the interior!
