Thanks for kind commend, i made them on my own using self adhesive foil cutted to size, quiet a time consuming and fiddly job to attach them!

It would already look "full equipe" for a 1/12 (that it looks like), let alone a 1/20. :D

W. O. W. The detail here makes my eyes water, keep it up.

How much of this work is done with tweezers?

Many thanks for kind commends guys, keeps me motivated! :)

Will come back to it next week with more time for modeling. Undertray is CF decaled, what a nightmare this time! Had cracking SMS decals, 3 of 5 sheets for the dumb, seems like the dealer stored them for a long time, very disapointing!

@wixy500: I realy don`t know but i think 80% of dry fitting and construction is done with tweezers, excapt the rivets on the body, those are attached with a wax pencil, much easier to get them in right position, only 3 or 4 i lost to the carpet monster. :D

Wish you all a productive new modeling year! :)
