Here my C6R at the moment, I agree, the kit is really great! The only things that bug me are the incorrect wing stand, the position lights, and the ride height. Everything else is great. Im using a gloss yellow I found from Testors, the color is very close to the car color
Great to see your taking up the BBV livery. JHDrew did that, heres the link to his car

If you need any pictures of the Bad Boy car, let me know, I have tons of pictures from the race, had the privledge to see the car up close (and touch it, shhh!). |
Kurzheck is right: they are from Colin at automania. The decals are very nice and his customer service is outstanding. He replied within a very short time!!! I think they are quite a bargain for $10. I'm also getting the White Lightning livery to add another ALMS to my collection.
The white is Tamiya X-1 shot through an airbrush. I had white automobile primer down as the base. I thinned it pretty heavily and it goes on great. Had I not added decals, almost no polishing would have been needed.
I'm correcting the wing struts on the LeMans version, and have drilled out the position lights on all of them. Not sure what I'll use; maybe a green LED? I've found the ride height to be tolerable. Drilling out the front grill and making sure the oil cooler ducts are molded in as one piece helps as well. I'm using a Krylon safety yellow for that one.
JDrew's thread is what got me started on the Badboyvette livery. Any pictures you have would be great. That is going to be a time consuming decal sheet!!!
