Had to move this for another kit and I'll build this for the Shelby Bracket Race.

After dealing with a gagilllion mold seams it's in color. The stripe decals literally dissolved in the water, so I''ll be airbrushing them.

Decals dissolved when the hit the water so I did what I should have done in the first place Tape and airbrush. The stripes are Candy Red Pearl. If it an exotic ride might as well make 100%. The tape in the hood air outlet and the power bulge make the hood strip look off. They were laid out using 1mm Tamiy tape in the center, a few pieces of 10mm to space the stripes off the center line in 6mm tape. Hosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiHosted on Fotki

Nice. I have one in the works. The only issue I had (aside from the 22 year old decals) was that to get the hood fit correctly, I needed to fit the body with the hood installed to the chassis. Than I taped the hood closed and fit the radiator and duct assembly in from the bottom. After it dried I took off the body and finished the coolant lines and other items. Of course it could be the kit lay on the shelf since 2000.
