Got my Indycals for Fred! Instantly messed up my AA crest decal. So after looking at the other builds again i decided to learn how to add a rookie stripe. And push the car to its race day graphics like i like to do on my 500 winners.IE: Abc cam decals and such. Another order to Indycals. I do it on Alonso, i can do it better on Rossi. I got some bamboo stock and sanded so it wont look like a peice of wood. Painted flat black and will mount in a wickerbill type fashion on the bottom wing beam and give me surface to paint a stripe. Then cf bottom and top. Inside stones applied soon. Update then.

Rear wing beam cf'ed top and bottom. Scale motorsports #1020. First time using Micro-set. Did some homework on the site and i agree, sparing is good. It definately helps. Got a little more comfortable with the stuff. Rookie stripe color is not necessarily my favorite but for now it stays. Perhaps a decal in the future to match the numbers closer. Inside stones. ( Indycals) I would like to thank everyone that has posted pics, shared info or simply shared experience. You helped me! Update again with race day graphics.

Any one make a rear light sticker? I've wondered if a vendor could make up "GL" kind'a basic upgrade kit on some decals. A ebay kit. Just a thought.

Almost done. The ts-56 ( thanks for the tip!) Is coming tomorrow. Learned on this car some. Mistakes on the nose. ( phone rang and it set) but otherwise not too bad. Indycals are getting to look like a decal sheet in a pro model kit. You can really see the quality. This last Fernando set is nice. I will paint the rabbit ears ( brush ok?) Or mask them and scuff and shoot? The value on the GL. Fernando figure car seems to be diminishing some, if Ebay is any indication. I did think they would hold their value a bit higher. This particular car was obtained from a Indianapolis seller. Not on ebay. Just @ 100 to the door. Im afraid to post the seller as i dont believe they are an approved seller. If you want one, pm me and i will tell you who. Thanks to this board i am stepping up and learning. Harvey the dog has inspired me to do a 2017 Pippa figure, as my sister is a bc survivor. Now that opens up a new chapter!
