Open Interface Tom's Lexus SC430

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!

I finally had the time to finish this model. What began as a weekend project turned into a month long nightmare. The first coat of paint was unsuccessful and I had to strip and repaint. I'm still not 100% happy with it but it'll do. I used Studio 27's photo etch sheet and S27/SMS/Modeller's CF decals. Anyway, enjoy the pictures and give me some feedback.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm currently working on my next project, a Tyrrell Yamaha 023. It's nice to build something with an engine.

Nice job on the decals as i know how much of a pain they are, ecspecially the red ones. Looks really nice, the hood only shows small flaws, but everything else looks sweet. Pity tamiya did a horrible job on the interior though.

Yeah, that was because some pieces of cat hair got blown on it.

The red decals didn't really give me any trouble... the Cartograf decals reacts very well with the microsol.

I tried making the interior a bit more interesting by covering it in CF, but yeah, I agree it's a bit plain.
