I am thinking on this one, thought perhaps gold foil.
Fujimi pe parts can fit barely the engine cover vents with careful gluing, havnt tried any of the other parts, I do have aoshimas detail set.
interested to see what your body will turn out like.are you doing a davidoff style or just a standard gulf blue with the orange parts going down the middle if the car, decals?
Was thinking maybe a single british flag on the left wheel louvres?
I been watching and waiting for updates, I couldnt wait to get stuck into mine, a window pillar broke on 1 door.hopefully the glass will sort it out when in place.
nice update.

For inside of engine covers I just plan to paint them SG black and may be apply some gold foil. I'm not sure yet, if racing versions actually had
anything there. Will check later. I don't think real car had any mesh inside rear engine door. Short tail didn't have anything there, I believe. At least
I cannot see any on my references for both short and long tail. I plan to build Gulf colours car with full Davidoff livery from FIA GT championship.
That's why I'm worried about future masking difficulties. Current plan is to paint blue and orange, but decals have orange stripes as well. That's unfortunate
about a window pillar on your kit. Plastic of those kits seems to be soft enough. Mine 1st kit had no damages from shipping. Didn't check other 2 yet.
