I'll be using the Airfix BAe Hawk 100, just because its elongated nose is pure F1 and should suit the scheme.
The first step was to scan in the paint diagrams from the kit (I chose the Indian option because the panel lines were the clearest) and enlarge them to 1/72 scale to match the kit parts.
From the drawings/scans I was able to create a set of decals. Some of the logos were found on the web in vector format, but several had to be created from scratch. From looking at photos of the real car I identified a couple of extra sponsor logos that I may add to the model. Here's the sheet so far. It may need slight adjustments once the decalling begins as the 3D surfaces may not quite match my 2D estimations, but I think they're pretty close.
My intention is to build it wheels up in flight mode, which means adding the little men in the cockpit and mounting it on a suitable base.
