Great result Manotas!
I have to start restonring mine, now, they just look so good

Sorry to break it to you, but the 4x4 decal on the hood is upside-down, like Al indicated. Not that it matters

Wish I’d kept my mouth shut now !!!
A totally inspiring build.

After checking that I have to admit that you’re right....
Unluckily I applied a clear coat to protect the decals... but I’m really tempted to place it right.
Anyway, thank you for spotting that.

I also saw that the antenna holder was placed on the wrong place, so I just repositionned it on the right place.





Now I won’t be able to sleep...thinking on the best way to get that decal right ha ha ha

Lovely toy Manu.

Manotas please don’t touch that decal.
It’s such a beautiful job don’t risk the amount of pain and work to change it.

Nice job buddy, Good pick up on the antenna location So since the antenna isn't located in that center hole, What is it there for other than to weaken that already weak bumper? Shame about the decal, Surely you will have to fix

Took me a few hours to make this bonnet decal as it should be. ( thanks Al )
Luckily the clear coat was not as thick as expected and I could fix it with sanding (1600 grid paper) and clear coat again after swapping the decal upside down.

Now I’m happy





Thanks for all your support spotting those imperfections
