I have been mulling over all the extra bits and pieces I was going to add to the monocoque. Decals, different paint jobs etc. But it arrived today and I must say that I'm blown away by the quality of the thing. It looks gorgeous. I may just leave it as it is now, it's that good.
Anybody else feel the same.??

I think your right to leave it Chris as the whole kit is outstanding in quality. I loved the MP4/23 but the MP4/4 is far superior in detail and finish. I can imagine a lot of people buying the decals sets etc might think twice before using them IMO.

It really surprised me. In all the pictures of the model, it looks a sort if black gloss colour, hence me planning some mods, but it is has some very subtle colouring.
I have bought all the decals,:-) and now will probably not use most if them, but it's nice to have the option, and there are some nice little bits that come with them, like tyre chalk marks that I'll definitely try out.

I'm still undecided. A lot of unnecessary expense. I will do the Marly decals though.
