well i made a start on the floor, filled some of the sink marks that i thought would still be visible, then proceeded to base coat ready for the carbon decals, alls good. I applied the decals and left for a few days just to make sure everything was good and set. i then masked off some of the areas on the floor and gave all the decals a light over spray of transparent smoke! then an extremely thin coat of matt black just to tone down the bluish effect of the smoke so the decals just barely came through. piccys are pre transparent smoke & black. dandare attached the following image(s): Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

Thank you Steve  very kind comments unfortunately the old camera is not the greatest i think ive managed to find a setting that allows close ups, so here are a few more!!! although any little speck of dust is now really highlighted!! will have to get the old Vacuum on it before the next set of photo's  Regards Dan dandare attached the following image(s): Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

Looking good Dan. The setting you found sounds like macro mode, as you have found the only problem is it does show up every tiny speck of dust

Hi Phil thanks for looking in, i had originally used a mix of aluminium & gun metal, however once the decals decided to peel off i reverted back to good old Matt black and No decals. regards Dan Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

Jim Hi Jim feel free! thats why we all post here. so others can be inspired i have used shrink tube on the pipe coming from the top of the intercooler, however ive just ordered and recieved some tubing (1.7mm) from Hiroby to replace it as the shrink tube just does not look good imo. the other tube/pipe is similar to the pipe used in the kit on the brake lines, again this came from Hiroboy. ive also just received a smaller diamater pipe to change the radiator overflow pipes. regards Dan Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

love the extra detail on the side pods Dan, looks very nice indeed.
shame about the floor decals as i haven't made my mind up yet on what to put on the floor, i have a load of fine carbon decal here which i was going to try and i understand why you smoked it down.
