Decals for 1st test arrived today :D
I am very happy with the first impression.
Everything looks very good, no mistakes can be seen at first glance.

And I really wanted to bring a little update to the kit... :D and it didn't turn out bad for such a graceful part.
I will leave it that way. You have to use Ø0.4mm brass (included in the kit ;))

Thomas, the decal is going well, awesome,

One little suggestion on the decal,
For the nose part, is it possible that the black lining (separating the orange and gluf blue color) and the sponsor logos printing separately?
Seems it would be more easy for the decal handling

The decals are digital print decals, you have to cut out all of the decals anyway. So it is no problem to separate them yourself.
But I made them all as 1 piece, because the nose is so narrow that there is actually no space to attach them otherwise and the strips then run safely parallel!
I've had good experiences with it with the Aston Martin.

I will use the decals to make a painting template for painting. In addition, I have already considered including these in the kit. ;)
