Great subject! My favorite JPM car this year. Of course I'm prejudiced: I just put Hawk pads on the Mustang 2 months ago. I love the chrome red.
Very cool. Looking forward to this.

I would have screwed up a decal. Hard to get a decal to form in 2 different directions even with lots of MicroSol.

Very cool! I'm not as skilled as you I won't be able to paint that hawk as perfectly as you did.

I somehow knew you would be doing this car Ralph! LOL
Looks great so far and I have no doubt at all that it will turn out fantastic!

Stu Kinda dragging my feet on this one, other things going on plus I'm just getting lazy. Finally got the dreaded stripe on, not too happy but not doing it over. BTW I've done many DW12 cars & why I don't fill in that body line on the tip of the nose b/c that section doesn't exist on the real car, I will from now on. I'll put on the hawk next on the fins.   |

No doubting the sponsor with the hawks on the sides & the chrome red is striking in person.

Almost there. I'll decal the rear wing element then glue it in place.  |

Museum quality. Great job buddy!
Why haven't you gotten those wings cast in resin and made yourself a rich man!?

It might be worth it to fill in the nose to make it easier to paint and look cleaner but FWIW the car does actually have a seam there (though the diecast replicates it more severely).  You are are talking about the one here below the Andretti logo, right? Jordan |

Oh crap, forgot to say that the Hawk car looks completely awesome. That chrome red is so striking!

Thanks guys. Not one of my favorite paint schemes, just thought it would be a good challenge.
