I have started on this one, it is a very nice kit but Ebbro certainly like to make you work just to get the body parts together.....

Started the sanding process which is really needed on this kit, also i think whoever did the tooling was maybe not a fan, all these sink marks....OMG Very Happy

I like that color choice a lot too Shayne. Probably about as close as you can easily get to the real car's color.

Let the decal fun begin...The paint has an eggshell texture to it, but the decals adhere well to it. I have no doubt that it will pop when the 2K goes on it.

Decals are now done and a little window of opportunity to get some clear onto the body parts. Loving the Gravity Colors Graphite under the 2K, it just shines. I have added the Johnny Walker decals as well and this brings the car alive.

I have a Tamiya James Hunt McLaren that was hung up because I couldn’t get the flourescent red... finally got the paint, and the build is still sitting.

This is borderline inspiring me to dig back into it...🤨
