Come on Ron!, Your Killings me! (I know, sorry - I couldn't resist!) - But hey!, We are all getting sick and tired around here (the F1M website) with you trying to consistently "Pull the wool over our eyes"...We all know you went into some rich guys garage and took those pictures of a real 1:1 car...come on Buddy! KNOCK IT OFF!
HaHa!, just kidding - you really knocked this one out of the park! Woe, what a BUTE. I just hope I can get my MFH 1/12 McLaren to come out looking half as good as this! Keep it up, its guys like you that make this one of the best websites out there...
Take care, and once again - thanx for sharing!, Kirk

Exactly. It's Zero Paints M@r!b*r* red. The gold stripes are from the TABU decal sheet. Tamiya only includes the black ones.

Well done! You’ve set the bar quite high for the rest of us. Hope my build looks half as good as yours.

Looks like it is 1/1 not 1/20th. Two thumbs up.
