Beautiful

I switched to Gunze recently and thinned with Tamiya lacquer thinner, and so far it is what I’m going to use, sick and tired of other paints cracking or not being the right color

Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate it.
I had a problem with MP4 red color cracking with Zero and now also with Gravity. I recently used Fluorescent Orange from Gravity on the Gulf colored MCL35M and there was not a single problem. So why is the problem with MP4 red? I also thought it would be better to stick with Gunze and be sure of the color functionality.

Great work, looks really nice! :D

Was the 3D model your own work or did you download it from somewhere else?

Hi, the 3D file is my work. I used some of this data for the MP4/1c I'm working on now. I'm also working on FW08 and finished the file for the Jordan EJ12.

Can I ask how long did this project take from conception to completion?

I started working on the 3d file at the end of last August.
The file was ready at the beginning of September.
I then shelved the project and finished model the MCL35M and MP4/30 work in progress. I printed the model in tadpole November and started working on the decals.
I started building the model on December 10.
