Work continues on the McLaren. Here is the engine about 95% done.

These carbon decals are horrible! They do not conform, they just shatter and the shapes are al off and need serious trimming. I must say I am rather disappointed with them .

Here is the seat/driver's compartment. The seat is painted XF-85 rubber black, I think it captures the Alcantara perfectly.

Bodywork painted. I airbrushed TS-26 Pure White and TS-36 Fluorescent Orage. Much to my surprise it only took one coat of orange and it looks phenomenal.

Here's a quick mockup of it so far.

Hopefully I'll have more to report soon. Thanks for looking!

You are doing areally good job of this, which carbon decals are you using?

I dont think the kit comes with any carbon?
