Finished painting the mono, nosecone, tires, and the wing end plates this weekend. Here are the tires. I used the stencil that came with the Museum Collection decals:  Did a final coat of smoke over the monococque:  Then a coat of satin clear. With flash:  Without:  The nosecone also got another two layers of smoke,then flat clear. Flash:  No flash:  The endplates got the fine line decals (you can also see the brake discs here... I shot them silver while I had it in the airbrush):  Then 3 layers of smoke:  Finally 3 layers of gloss clear. With flash:    Without:

Worked on the radiators a little. Added shrink wrap to simulate the silicone hose, and PE clamps from Autograph.

What is everyone doing for a display case? I'd really like the Japan release one with the body stand, but have been unsuccessful in finding one.

That looks amazing!! I love your mods, they make such a difference! As for a case, I haven't given it much though until I start building, and thats a while away yet.
