First order of business was to get a coat of white onto the bodywork. I also sorted all of the other parts and got them sprayed.

Doesn't the kit have two in it? Chris

I got the engine done. And have a start on the beginning of a lot of decaling.

Tamiya gives you decals to do the upper element of the rear wing. But after trying to get them to lay down correctly, I gave up and painted it gloss white instead.
