My first complete model for 2008. Had a few disasters along the way but the end result is decent. Not my best effort but it will look great sitting on my shelf. I've always liked this livery. Here is the WIP.

Like everyone else, this kit was horribly warped. Some clamping and careful gluing helped, but its still a tripod. At least the rear deck can come off.... I'm also doing the white Mobil1 LeMans version, and it will most likely end up curbside.

Paint is Tamiya X-1 airbrushed, clear is Krylon acrylic. Following the disaster theme, the clear had tons of fish eyes in it which had to be polished out. It never ends.... In the end the finish came out quite nice. At least it's finally done!

On to the pics (I didn't take the time to clean them up in photoshop, so sorry for the quality):



















The wheel fell off while I was giving it the final wax. This kit actually has nice details.
