Yes, I made the CF decals - no they won't be available. They are major resource hogs -a sheet would probaly have to sell for considerably more than other brands.

Hi. Fantastic work you are making.

The carbon decals were made by you? Will they be available?

Thanks and good work.

Did you keep the chrome on the wheel and front and rear wings?
Yes, the wings and wheels are straight out of the kit. The plenums and exhaust were sanded and painted with Testors Metalizer aluminum.

Wow!

Do you paint straight from the can or do you use it with the airbrush?
