I have been trying different methods on carbon decals to see if I can reproduce the same effect. Unfortunately, I haven't found a working one yet.

Amazing work Thomas!
What is your opinion on the 3D print quality?
Does it need as much preperation as the old models?

Thanks, but as I said, it's not my job. I just want to share it with you.

But I still have the kit here and would currently say that the print quality has gotten a little better than it was with the previous models...
What I noticed is a warpage on the chassis part. Here you have to see that you correct it before you can pair it with the floor.

I believe RB18 has a matt or semi gloss body finish. Am I correct?
