Peter, Jean-Paul's answer...
“Thank you for your interest on this thread Peter. About the panel lines, the decal is carefuly cut once dry; you can then use some decal softener so that the decal conforms well to the engraving. Last step is to fill the gap with light gray paint in this case, the excess paint is wiped off with thinner.
The window frames are simply hand painted, no masks needed; after a few hundreds models built, this does seem almost easy. And there’s always the possibility of some touch-up if needed.” |

The clear air intakes for the hoods and rear windows have to be cut one by one; and there are 3 of them for the rear window only on this version of the GTO! At the same time, we can prepare the front light covers and surrounds for the Daytona 66 car. Also note the 2 huge parts for the Mosport hood car; they apparently had some over- heating problems that day ...

Here is the preparation of some photo-etched parts, hood straps with their buckles, rear reflectors, front wings indicators and door and trunk handles.

I see you were able to capture the rear glass vents nicely ;) |

Thanks Jean Paul, I am familiar with the decal technique but the grey had me curious... so it's a form of "lining". Well done. |

| These are now ready for preorder, 6 out of 10 already ordered. I have a hunch these will go quickly. |

What did Jean-Paul use for that textured base? I really like it.
