Well, here’s a small update, I am human and had a major accident with the main body. I was polishing it and I burned through the paint down to the resin 😩 Since the paint is metallic and my painting skills aren’t pro level I can not do touch up to cover the mistake and make it look like nothing ever happened. So I have to strip the whole thing and start over again…live and learn as they say.. so stay tuned 😉

Looking forward to seeing it all over again

Chris, That really sucks. Believe me I feel you pain and frustration as I've been there and done that more times then I ever admitted here.

This kit for a curbside is kicking my butt, I think I have painted every panel twice and have gone through 2 sets of decals. I finally got it to this. I do like the colors but this model has used up some serious supplies. Hopefully you like it

If it’s any consolation it looks stunning. Your color choice is so awesome. Fantastic work and great job persevering on the paint.

Chris, Those pics say it all. Outstanding paint and decaling. And the finish is just top notch.

Looking good! I can see how this big model can swallow a lot of paint and supplies. I believe this is the color scheme for 2018. The 2016 and 2017 used solid non-metallic colors, at least in IMSA and LeMans.
Thanks, Ismael

Chris, As a side note, WEC has dropped the GTE class for 2024 and now all the GT3 classes will run in LMGT3. What's even stranger is the long time manufactures Mercedes and Audi didn't get their act together in time and miss the 2024 season. Ben knows way more then I do about GT racing, and I'm sure he can add a great deal of info to this year's coming season.

Made some substantial progress in the last couple days. But I do have a few major hurdles before I can call it finished so stay tuned 😁
