Looks stunning!
A well made model in my opinion. Shame there is so much extra correction work that has to be made, but in your model, none of that can be seen!

A very successful model. Decals and paint look very good. You can't see any of the problems you described. Great work, I hope I can manage my 1:12 that well.

Excellent work and thank you for the heads up on the issues faced. You wouldn’t recall the ratio of the blues by any chance?

Thanks all :D
Any trouble with Mechelins on Tyres' Sidewalls
Tire rubber seems a bit softer, so be careful when putting them on the rims, that the colour doesn't flake off, but otherwise no issue.

Sorry, no, I was just eyeballing it until it fit.

Wow it came out really nice! This kit scares me from what I've read about it but with your tips maybe I'll give it a go. Pictures and cf came out really well. Nice work as always

Beautiful assembly and beautiful pictures, as always!! Thanks for all the tips. This has been one of the ones I've been the most hesitant to start building, perhaps because is one of my favorite cars of all time. With your tips, I'm starting to get more excited about finally putting this kit together.

An amazing build.

In particular I like how the CF on the chassis looks. Is it bare CF decal or did you apply a clear coat of some kind?

Thank you for sharing.


Cheers,
Mike

I sprayed Mr. Super Clear Semi Gloss on Top of it.
