Colours look perfect, perfect painting and decals, it couldn't be any better. Really good job :)

Great work, the bodywork looks superb.

Coming along very nice !!!

I have this kit to!
Great how you did the carbon fiber efect but also the rest of the model, painting and decaling as usual from you - great!
Some questions about the decals from the kit, are they good? Is easy to work with them? Do they respond well to decal solvent ( Micro sol)?

added some weathering on the tires.
also I had to use a stencil for the goodyear logos as the decals were just crap and kept breaking on me

thanks, for the CF I use some mesh and brush silver enamel paint onto it, then press it onto the part.
the decals are very nice and had no real problems, I use micro-sol and a hairdryer but the tire transfers didn't work out to well the kept breaking so its better to have other decals or a stencil for them.

hollowed out the helmet and painted it. visor made from scrap plastic from a superglue package.
dipped the completed helmet in future to gloss it up

Great stuff! Incredible work on the CF. I actually like that the pattern is not too obvious. That is very realistic from my point og view.

I just have to finish the wings and it will be completed.

Can you explain how did you add marbles on the tyres?!?
Thank you in advance!
