Very good! It looks fantastic! Martini schemes are always going to be iconic works of art!
Im glad Indycals is now the NUMBER 1 place to get sportscar decals! Which is fantastic because we know what we are going to get and not some overpriced dry decal sheet that you have to fight.

Which is fantastic because we know what we are going to get and not some overpriced dry decal sheet that you have to fight. Chaparral2k I'm always appreciative when fellow members take the time to checkout one of my builds, especially since this is my 1st completed car build. Agreed that the Martini schemes are not only iconic in all forms of road racing, but are of a constantly high standard using the same theme since day one. As for Indy Cal huge selection of decals, and a ever growing number of sports type road race cars, it's truly a gold mine for builders like myself that enjoy both open and closed wheel cars. I have a few Alp sheets that I bought more then two years ago for a couple of Ebbro Lotuses that will be used sooner then later. Honestly, I can't praise and recommend Michael enough as he's answered every question I've emailed him with, and not all are about decals. Joel |

Michael is my go to guy for many things, he's always very gracious with his time and he's a pleasure to deal with.

Usually it takes days or even weeks to get back a reply from a online resource. Michael has certainly raised the bar for customer service. Joel |

Paul Erlendson Paul, thanks so much for appreciating my most modest of efforts. if you're referring to the side windows, they are clear as they come in the kit. The Martini Porsche used clear Yellow Plexi. The solution I used was to air brush the insides with Tamiya Acrylic Clear Yellow. Viewed from the outside they look like real tinting plexi with a deep clear shine. There is no way to view the cockpit other then through the windows, so the illusion works perfectly. Joel |

Michael, Looking forward to your Porsche 917K build. I wanted to do one of the Gulf Wyler cars, but you don't have any of those decals. |
