There's a studio 27 sheet too, I know I was looking at mine last night.

Nice project you started here, i will have it on my watch list!
Decals should not be a problem especially when you have a tameo sheet in stash. Still know a good company for such things, print quality is pretty good and they can also do the design.
If you have trouble with getting such decals let me know and i send you a link to their hompage. ;)
Take a stand!

Little update on the Zakspeed. having had it halted because of some small 'issues' with the kit. The PE parts didn't fit the Radiators in the box, for the larger ones i found a simple solution by just filling the hole with plastic card as they aren't that visible.

The smaller ones had the same problem but as they are more visible i decided to scratchbuild them. I just glued the PE parts to a square plastic rod and added a added a trim around it. The piece was finished of with a fitting from Top Studio and a thermal sticker i had left from another kit.

i also added a support rod in the sidepods as they where present on the real thing.

Hi all, i've had some time to continue on this project. I've been up to try and scan 1/43 models to get a few of the missing ones but unfortunately so far no 'good' results.
I have still a few options/settings i'm yet to try but will keep you updated. Also tried to scan a 1/20th CG911b with better results but still needs alot of finetuning to be usable.

The other more 'exciting' part of this post is about the progress on the Zakspeed ZK891 which is finished (except of the mirrors and headrest which i forgot to paint :roll: )
As my first multimedia kit i'm quite happy with the result and i've learned alot during the progress to eliminate errors i've made with this one. Below are some pictures of the car (almost) finished:

Thanks alot! The mirrors with be done when I'm painting another 1989 car as i don't want to mix only a small amount of clear for the mirrors only. So far I've primed the Benetton but while dry fitting noticed that it needs more work than i initial thought it needed.
