R32 Body Shell - Part 3

With the painting of the body shell now mostly complete it was time to apply the decals. As i was not using the yellow from the decals this was carefully removed so that the dark blue and silver demarcation stripes could be used. In addition to the kit decals I used some Mild Seven decals from crazymodeler designed for this kit. I chose to base this kit on an early to mid season car as I had the best reference pictures for this time period.

In addition to the kit markings I added some carbon fiber decals on the suspension arms, camera and exhaust shrouds. These are complex shapes and some thing I still require more practice at.

With all the decaling complete the whole shell was sprayed with zero paints lacquer. Again several thin coats were applied and then polished and treated with some turtle wax.


The end result is a reasonable looking body shell. Now for the rest of the kit.....
