Hi

Your gulf-design looks very good. Also a great paintjob.

Got most of the decals on and the rims painted. Soon will be ready for clear coat and polish.

Looks stunning - where did you get the decals from?? - I have one of these kits and was going to do the "goodsmile" racing livery, but this is very imaginative - John

Thank you!

I have used a few decals from various sheets which I have collected over the years as well as a couple from the Goodsmile sheet.

The main Gulf decals and 007 etc. are from Colorado Decals Aston Martin DBR9 sheet.

Love the GULF livery, great work!

Fantastic paintjob.

The Gulf livery looks very good on this car.

Got interior assembled after some mild detailing.

Top of dash sprayed with Faux Fabrix to create fuzzy non-glare look. Switches and buttons painted with various colors of Acryl paint. Used blue seat belt decals.

Brian - is Black the correct color for this inside? just asking because I don't have a good interior reference picture and I'm also going to build a BMW GT3 - I was thinking of either using white or a light gray for my interior so that it would be easier to see the detail of the inside, and only some black like for the dash. Yours looks good though. Also was that the Scale Motorsports faux fabrix paint? - Thanks - John

WOW! This is super nice! It may be a fantasy scheme but it is very fitting for this body!

If you're building the kit as the stock anime version the instructions say to paint it white.

If you're doing a phantom or fantasy build such as I am you use any color you like.

Yes, Faux Fabrix is made by Scale Motorsport.

Here's a couple interior shots:

Wow! great detail on that interior, especially the steering wheel.

Anyway, great job of masking on the body. Looks good.

Getting down to final assembly and running into big problems with the kit.

The wheels on all four corners stick out 3mm too far so the tires are not tucked inside the fenders. There's no way to fix this without cutting plastic. The brakes in the stock fitting position fit horribly anyway.

Secondly, had to chop the windows apart because the one piece shell doesn't fit well at all.

Disappointing flaws in an otherwise decent kit.

Fujimi strikes again.
