Very nice! The demarcation between the pink and white with the pinstripe looks fantastic.

Like Ismael, I use Apoxie Sculpt for filling large areas and wet sand it to avoid clogging the sandpaper. I'll occasionally use super glue for small spots or sink marks on car bodies, but I have to use it in my paint booth. Over the past ten or so years, I've become very allergic to the fumes. One thing I don't like about Tamiya putty is it seems to be impervious to denatured alcohol, so I can't use the old trick of applying putty to a seam and then smoothing it out with alcohol and a Q-tip.

On the final stretch, got it polished then had a few accidents with the paint and I wasn't very happy with myself but oh well. Regardless its still one of my better models I think I've done. Got the water bottle lenses taped on and hope the glue holds when I check it tomorrow.

Looking darn good. I'm truly impressed with those home made lenses as I will most likely be facing the same issue on a resin kit I bought from France but I'm still waiting for those lenses and looks like there's never going to get here.

All finished up, i did take the pics before realizing i forgot to put the wiper on but its on now. Really quite happy how this turned out with all the modifications i had to do which was good practice. The water bottle lenses came out fantastic and super glad I didn't have to vacuum form them as I didn't want to spend the money to do so.

It sits right at home with the 767 from the same 1991 JSPC season.

I'd say that you nailed this one to a "T". The overall finish is darn near perfect. As for those lenses, they came out looking like they were cast in clear plastic by the manufacture.
