And so does your white / green masking on the rear cowl. Looks good up close. Much better than my masking went on the car, back when I built it.

Cheers,
Chris
Thanks everyone for your kindly words, it's greatly appreciated.

Yes Chris, those are fishing line that I painted with Tamiya clear yellow. I had to buy two different sizes because I wasn't sure with one would be the best in scale, but it's fine because both were on clearance :wink:

As for the masking, please don't look too close :lol:

I hope will have another update by the weekend, stay tuned :D
