The decals finally arrived from Japan, so I can finish this one up. Can anyone familiar with Japan tell me why they send a sheet of decals in a box? Do they not have large envelopes over there or what? I'm thinking a flat piece would have gotten to me a LOT quicker.

Here's the mostly done Zanardi car. The rear wing tension wires need to be figured out.

Looking good!!! Always perplexed me as to why decals get sent in a box? Suppose it's the ultimate protection for them..

What a beautiful car. I miss Gary Anderson designs....

Great work Bossy. No clear coat on that right?

Cheers,

Each time I ordered only decals, I received them in an envelope. Strange...

The Jordan looks fantastic! It's always nice to see a well known model being build in a different version. :-)
The Lotus 91 and the Jordan within a few days. You seem to have a nice run, Bossy!

Thanks. I actually had this Lotus mostly completed a year or two ago, but what was'nt finished came in really handy while I waited for the Jordan decals. Sadly, the pile of starteds gets bigger faster than the completed pile.

Very nice work so far, but i wonder about the colour you used, seems to shiny/light in my view. Maybe i`m wrong cause it depends on the light the pictures are taken, but Tamiya`s instructions calls for a mixture of 2 greens, not only one colour! The mixture is matching close to the original colour, but the park green appears unfortunately not matching.
Overall good work with the changed front wing.
Take a stand!

Yes, that's one of those colors that, unless you see it in person, the pictures you see range vastly from dark green to really lite green. As I said, I had an old 7up big rig van at work for reference and the Park Green was pretty close.
