Underside, with exhaust and one brake disc fitted, some problems with the fitting, but all looks good now.

Inside, Tamiya Gloss white, from rattle can. Couple of photo etch parts here, from Renaissance photo etch kit.

Thats it for now, just waiting for some decent weather so I can get outside and spray paint the shell.

Cheers Matt

Nice start Matt , top looking colour scheme on this focus , I`ve got the simil`r Le mans Ford gt in the stash its nice to see a new model company on the scene even if they are French ( only joking about the French bit ) , word of caution though I`ve heard quite a few modellers have had a right old challenge getting the decals to fit on the rear of the car mainly around the rear lights so take your time in that area mate .

Cheers

Hi guys,

Not really of an update on my progress. Moved house recently so have only just got back into the model.

In need of a little help and advice thou.

Any tips on the best technique/product to use to get a decal onto a curved surface?

Take a look at the pic below

The decal needs to go over the space for the door handle, how the hell do i get it to cover that, without tearing and still reaching up to the window edge like it should?

Thanks Matt.

for decal use Microsol or some kind liqud for decal and then this:Das einzige, was mir negativ aufgefallen ist jetzt, das sind die Decals von "Catrograf". Es ist das 1. mal, das sie sooo schlecht zu verarbeiten sind. Mit dem Weichmacher bleiben recht viele Falten, die nicht wieder weg ziehen. Auch nach mehreren Anwendungen nicht Ich hab es aaaber recht gut gemeistert. Hab mir das "BP-grün" und das "Abu Dhabi-rot" für das ausbessern gemischt Jetzt kommen die Mechaniker dran.

I think Its mean use some kind similar Abu Dhabi red paint to paint this... ,its not on sell(original) but the similar color will be nice,just like on decal....

LOOK on page 5(five):
