Steve,
The shapes are pre printed on the back of the decal sheets but you have to cut them out..... well worth it if you ask me..... Some are a little ill fitting and some are really not needed.....

Thanks guys!!! Working on the interior today!

Looks great Dave, I never liked this car until I saw it in person, your build makes me want to buy one of these. I love this picture


Like a restoration that you see in a magazine.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the information,most appreciated.I am hoping to add this model to my collection soon.The SMS photoetch parts and the templated decals certainly look like a worthwhile addition to the basic kit.

Beautiful body color, great carbon job. I love the suspension rods and your photos.

Outstanding skill, as usual.

Not much to add to what has been already said, but still don't want to appear like I have no interest. Needless to say, it's strictly top notch elements of skill here. I love the finish, I use DuPont ChromaClear exclusively in my work and for models and I love it. I can only imagine the interior yet to come.

Great build.
What DuPont ChromaClear do you use? 7500/7600 and where do you purchase it?

I use 7500S. I got it from a buddy of mine that I painted some things on his 1:1 car... He gave me the leftovers...

Interior bits are done. SMS PE parts added to the interior kick panels. I used the black cardboard in the SMS PE sheet for floormats.



Dash and door panels done up in Black and CF..........



Seats are done as well with CF backs........



Finally it was all put together to complete the interior along with factory style seatbelts...




Shot with body test fit......

Insane! I mean really beautiful!

Just one question: Do you cut CF decal into right shape before putting on or you cut it when it's applied?

[deedlit]

Speechless

[Waxking]

all i can say is "WOW!"

[Joe Blyth]

Holy crap man, it's beautiful! And you build so quickly!

[Robi J]

Oh Looord...

[stevenoble]

Such beautiful craftsmanship on the carbon fibre work and just amazing neatness throughout the interior.Superbly done in every respect!!

[Samurai75007]

Wow, I love that blue.

[CifeNet]

You are kidding me?!@? This is soooo sweet! I love the color, I love the C/F work, and everything is very clean.

After watching this, it is definitely nice to get motivated especially when I become lazy and not do much.
