Thanks guys, for all the kind comments!! This one came out a bit better than I expected - and agree, it's also my favorite era of sports cars. Next to 80's & 90's F1 cars, these are by far my fav!

I did tear a couple of them and repaired them with little bits of "extra" overhang from some of the decals.
I got a tip from another modeler too use a ton of water to float them on, and then slowly start setting them. Patience is key, which I'm, obviously still having to learn.

Totally and completely agree, daveyman, if I was to do this one again, or recommend it to someone I would suggest getting some tracing paper and just make some templates of the large body decals. Especially the ones on the top, I feel it would be much easier to mask and paint two colors than getting all those decals on. The ones on the side weren't too bad because they weren't "that" big, but the top ones were a challenge. Course, I'm getting better at doing the large decals now...
