Most impressive with the metal treatments you have shown us, thank you for sharing your build methods, looks like an amazing kit-I want to buy the all now.........

The rest of the Museum Collection decals from HLJ arrived and tobacco markings applied; body is just rested in place for these photos. I am very impressed with the decal markings, they look like they are painted on, very glossy. Fitting the tobacco markings to the drivers helmet was quite a chore, w...

I am not as skilled as other builders here on this forum but I am pleased with the results so far. I chose to go with black carbon fiber instead of the factory flat or green/gold as the real car-a...

Thanks for the suggestions guys: i will look into both suggestions. My fear is that putty will fall into the cooling holes and won't come out. I might try lathe turning as the real rotor has a recess that isn't on the model rotor.

To further enhance this amazing kit I need advise on how to improve the brake rotor edge appearance; there is a seam on the kit parts where you join the front and back halves together- I would like to eliminate the seam-but don;t think Tamiya putty is best way- in fact I would prefer a cast rotor an...
