    Thank you Ken :) !
    For all you modellers out there , I just got this and can recommend this sheet
    maybe a bit big for small scale . But much easier to use than water transfer "carbon sheet"
    I use it for my own made front fenders "wings" from scrap lexan

    Sorry to say I didn´t nail the blue color , and those special made decals was not off same high quality as Tamiya´s :(
    Still await some more hope they are better :confused: the body will be a mix off PC 2 and "Gran Turismo " they are my inspiration.

    Front wing mounted with 1mm hardware :rolleyes:

    That's way beyond my meagre skills, I usually stick with what comes in the box

    Started a long time ago...old kit, simplistic and of completely outdated quality, the only limit is your imagination to improve it...! The good thing is that it's only 7€.
    I've improved a lot of things (at my level;)), we can do a lot more, but we have to set limits!

    A nice kit Christian. What scale is it and who's the maker?

    Hi Ken,
    The 2 kits in the photo are from the same manufacturer, SMER or Mister craft, depending on the year of manufacture or reissue! A bit hard to find though.
    They also make aircraft at low prices, with varying degrees of success! (like cars, cheap = a lot of work to improve !)
