Absolutely Gorgeous, I'll use this as reference material when I build mine! I hope mine comes out half as good.

And finally, I've finished this kit.

Are the Gauloise decals the Tabu designs ones? I have these on order but have never heard of the company, are they good to work with?

[robrex]

Great work!

[RallyRaider]

That came together quickly. Mighty fine job!

Yes, they are from Tabu. And yes, they can conform to shape pretty easily with decal softener.

Really nice. The green tone on the exhaust looks a bit odd though, perhaps from spraying blue and yellow too close to each other? Or perhaps you have used green?

It turned out great, excelent paint job, very nice I must admit. Allthou I agree with Joel, green is looking odd.

I used clear blue and clear orange over Alclad II...I was trying to get the bluish effect...
