Never again!

I think this build was one of the hardest I have had to do-decals are very tricky to use and in some cases are not to scale-slightly too big-rear bootlid for example or slightly too small-sun visor.

Used hot water with washing up liquid otherwise they stick too quickly. Colours are good.

Glad its over and in the post.

I'm proud of the exhaust too-just relocated to the side at the last min.! Very Happy There are wipers on it by the way, Trofeu metal ones.

Thanks but is not as nice as it should have been-one Total logo upside down and the Video Libraries decal on the rear spoiler should be on the rear window. Had no pics of the rear of the car and where it was set on the decal sheet suggested it went on the bootlid. Ah well.

The 1/18 version will be perfect! Very Happy
