And so does your white / green masking on the rear cowl. Looks good up close. Much better than my masking went on the car, back when I built it.

Thanks everyone for your kindly words, it's greatly appreciated.

Yes Chris, those are fishing line that I painted with Tamiya clear yellow. I had to buy two different sizes because I wasn't sure with one would be the best in scale, but it's fine because both were on clearance :wink:

As for the masking, please don't look too close :lol:

I hope will have another update by the weekend, stay tuned :D

Thanks everyone for your compliments.

It's time for the last update before this model cross the line under the checkered flag :D

The skirts are installed (glued)

As the front bodywork, that's not glued.
