Finally! I have an update for you!
I had to paint the body 2 times. The first time I forgot to wash it after sanding the primer coat, and I obtained a cute sandpaper texture when I applied the paint. This showed me that it is very important to remember the basics!
Well, after a dive in acetone lake, hereīs the body painted and decaled:
For the nose and rear colored stripes, I cut the decals in 7 separated strips:
By the way, be very careful with the use of decal softeners on this sheet. The decals are old and thin, and it is very easy to ruin them if you apply too much softener. I found this the hard way
I had to use my backup sheet.
I painted the black parts in the rear wing and applied the decals:
I painted the door panel lines with a mixture of yellow,orange and black:
Hinges were painted in aluminum, and carbon fiber decals were applied in the roof panel:
I also added pins and handles to the roof hinges:
In this photo, you can see the roof screws (in the spare wheel rack holes):
Thatīs it for the moment! Time to detail the windows and add final detailing to the body! Stay tuned!
