those wheels and tires came out looking just like the real deal. Not glossy nor to Matt, so that they have the look and feel of the real deal. The disk brakes, calipers, and suspension pcs are as usual, perfectly painted.
Just one question, did MFH get the what I call air vent recesses from the center of the disk to the outside correct for both the right and left side, or are all 4 disks the same, which means that 2 are backwards?

MFH did get the recesses accurate. There is a left and right side discs. The scoops for the rear and the inlet hoses for the fronts are not on yet. |

Thanks guys. It's been awhile since my last update. Besides the weather being cold and damp so I couldn't paint, I got sidetracked by the M19 and by purchasing a new car.  But I did get the interior of the tub all decaled up with carbon fibre and cleared. So I was able to get the tub halves together.   1030 |

Congtrats on the New Car.
As for the carbon fiber decaling of the tub, as usual your decaling looks absolutely perfect.

But I did get an addition to my decaling tools that helps. I bought a used coffee warmer off of Ebay. I turn it on and within 1/2 hour, I have very warm water to dip my decals in.  1093 |

 After getting the tub together, I touched up the semi black and proceeded to decal the exterior. That's right, the tub is covered in carbon fibre decals. Ten different ones.  Once the decals had a chance to dry out, I hit the tub with dullcote.  1175 |

Paul,
The CF tub really came out great.
As for your newest decaling "tool", I've been promising myself to buy one with a auto temp control for several years, but never got around to it. During what's turning out to be a rather longer modeling Hiatus, hopefully I buy one locally to get the mojo flowing again.

I've seen people use gloss clear on their c/f, but I like the look of the dullcote. And don't worry about temp control. Get one like mine....it gets it warm enough without getting too hot. Thanks Kyle  I got a good start on adding things to the tub.    1277 |
