Nice work so far, all the Carbon work mustve taken awhile. Becareful of those doors they are a bit of a pain to get right. mine fell off after 2 days, and the "hinges" that you glue to the top of the door frame can be fragile.
Cant wait to see more!!

The decals don't want to adhere to the seat. Two of them stayed after some microsol, but what i did to the rest was mix a mixture of testors clear glue and water then applied that underneath the rest of them.

You ccan go with microsol alone, but i think some time in the future the decals will come off.

Yes it was sms, but believe it or not i only used the ones for the chasis. So about half of them, because the ones for the doors and other parts were useless. So i had to create my own masks for whole interior and doors. Even on the door sills. When i cut out the masks from sms they just didn;t cover the part, or they would make a noticable seem somewhere noticable. But the ones for the chasis did help, unlike wheel well ones which were a
