    Thanks it is ALMOST done. I started the CF decals on the wing. The windows are in, fender badges are on. Once the wing is done, all that is lwft are door handles and miscellaneous touch ups

    Almost done! This was apparently a 4x4 model. I should have test fit the the suspension and lowered it a bit. I'm going to put Carbon Fiber decal on the wing for a little bit of pop.

    2 1/2 year old included for size reference

    Paint repair appears to be a success. There is a small ridge where the repair line is, however, wet sanding and polishing should take care of that. I will need to rethink how I spray the trim though!

    Your blending looks great
    Thanks. I'm hoping the rest of the line all but disappears once I clear it.

    Aaaaand. Time for clear again. I could have spent a little more time sanding away the jagged edges, but in the end, it seems ok. I lost a bit of the panel line on the door, and there is one spot down by the front of the skirt that is still pretty visible, we will see what happens when I clear it.

    The hood is done! There are a couple of fish eyes in the paint, but I'm OK with it. I need this behemoth out of the way! I realized last night I have a little over a month and a half to try and finish 5 builds! :/

    Well, I am glutton for punishment. I decided to just buff the paint out, ILO of sanding, respraying, and most likely having to sand again to level the clear and then polish.

    The roof is done...

    Gotcha, looks good so far.

    Hard to tell from the pics, but the cowl under where the wipers go is supposed to be trim black, not body color.

    The color is bitchin'! Unfortunately, there is a LOT of trash in the clear. I should have wiped it down before spraying, but I got in a hurry, as usual. Nothing a wet sand and re-shooting the clear won't cover.
