As James suggested, I'm thinking more decal than paint.

OK... time for bed. No pix at this stage... the clear coated parts are hiding away from dust and bugs. I've primered pretty much everything else, which should make all the interior detail painting Citadel or Vallejo acrylics, which should speed it up. There ARE lots of decals, but if push comes to shove, I'll invoke the "senior" option, and allow myself a second 12 hour period tomorrow, rather than try to finish by 3.30 PM. You never know, though...

bestest,

Cockpits mounted on chassis, now. If you look closely, you can see that the decal-over-BMF front grille on the Jag looks pretty good!

Image

Different angle on the Jag interior. Still left hand drive, though... I suspect it's more to do with the layout of GT3 tracks than where it was built, mind!

The Aston interior is equally simple, but paints up nicely...
