Excellent job, I thought the decals were daunting, painting it all is just incredible.

Hi Badi,
you might remember how much I like this car. The work you have put into the paintjob really paid off.
Which decals are you going to use?
I could imagine the Tommy Hilfiger decals by Tamiya could cause trouble if they are fixed on top of two different tones of yellow. I think they are slightly translucent.
Also, do you intend to build a specific race version?
Please show us your further progress.

I have postponed this project for several years, but now, I decided to move on, this kit is very old, I bought during the 90s and I added the Museum Collection decals to the project, however, the dark yellow of the decal seems wrong for me, so I decided to paint it all. That was crazy, very difficult mask, it is not perfect but I am ok with the result.

I will take care of the gap between layers, adding a layer of Acrylic clear coat to reduce the gap between colors.

I hope it works.
