Yer I'll second that.

Thank you Gary
Thanks Kev
Thanks Scott!

I am working diligently on all 3 that I am working on plus Honey Do's LOL

Update, I am getting close:
The P2k is dry so I went ahead and stopped my MH-60s build and did some work on the Lotus so I could see how it looks. My detail parts also came in, Thanks @Twokidsnosleep so I added some lines off the oil cooler and back of the gearbox. Turns out I should have done this prior to painting and gluing as I started making a mess Life lesson learned........
I started assembling the body panels and sanding down all the mating surfaces. If I had o do this again I would build the body 1st and then paint. Lots of small parts and some that just could have gone on the body prior to primer and paint.


Here is a shot of the body on the chassis. That P2k Gloss black is really shinny but is a fingerprint magnet FYI


Here is the fully assembled body with those stacks on the engine. They were a PIA to assemble. Glued my fingers multiple times.

Now we are talking
Very sexy
Can’t wait until those gold decals hit the deck and give us that pop!
Just a gorgeous livery

Thanks much Scott!

Little Christmas ISM forum break!!

Dang Murph!!! This is looking off the chart! (I know nobody says that anymore, but it was the best I could do stuffed with turkey and a little hungover...) In all seriousness, this is looking sick, man!! Can not wait to see the finished kit - keep up the killer work man!! Merry Christmas, too!

Thanks much Barry!!

Final Update:
I had a chance to apply the decals. They were a lot harder than I expected. I figured they were a bit old and larger that I was use to. Some of the surfaces were tough to keep the decals straight and lined up

Oh Murph that is just lovely
They are a bit of a fight, but the Tamiya F1's do come out really nice

That's a lovely looking motor car you've got yourself murph nicely done

Came out looking good dude!! I hate pinstripe decals - they are a real challenge (which is weird because they're small and thin, but are frustrating to get right).

Terrific job - that'll sit nicely on the shelf!

Terrific build Murph, the depth of shine on the bodywork and overall detailing is superb

Thanks so very much Scott!!
Thanks so much Dan!!
