Nicely done. It's a goofy kit, ain't it? I built 2 of them, the first one bit me with that seam with the 2 pieces for the headrest area and BOTH times, the black piece inside the sidepod that is supposed to be red. I had to go back and spray paint some white decal sheet red and apply it over that. W...

On a normal scanner, you could backlight the decals, that makes the white decals show up somewhat better. Rob That's actually a good idea. My scanner doesn't have a back light, but if I put my little light up pad for tracing things behind the decal.....in theory.....should do the same. I actually n...

I had a similar problem, when I wanted to make masking templates for the Revell Williams FW19: White decals on white carrier.

Appendectomies for everyone!

Picked up right where it left off last season: the one guy ( no spoilers, thank you ) dominating the Sprint and the other guy taking the GP proper. See how long it takes Acosta to figure out how to manage the rubber. I saw the race listed on Trutv in the States as TNT was showing 3 hour ads with hoc...
