Tamiyas engineering here is exquisite, such complicated and complex shapes and it all fits together effortlessly.

They are. Tamiya gives you a superb fret with about twenty items, none of which are superfluous all will make a difference and are visible.

It's actually about straight, Bob, the thing is, because the plumbing there is asymmetrical the intercoolers look 'off'. Believe me, the number of 'tweaks' I did as it was drying was uncountable !

More soon.

Build #1 - F40 Competizione (Decals)

After a lay-off for five weeks, some stickers happened over the last few days:

Printed by Cartograph, these decals are just incredible. tiny amount of tidying & touching-up to do on the bonnet 'Shell' logo, the intakes and the vents below the rear wing.

More very soon.
