This one melts in your mouth...not your hands

I have been knee deep in a couple of super detail projects for the last few months. I decided I needed to take a break so I bought this kit last weekend. This is my first attempt at painting and decaling a Nascar kit. It's pretty much a oob build with a few exceptions. I'm adding DetailMasters hood pin and window net set. I also thinned out the spoiler and added the template cutout for it. I will be adding spoiler adjustment rods too. I used Slixx decal sheet along with some of the kit decals. I still have a few details to add to the body including the hood. This weekend I will start the chassis.

I was so pleased with the results so far I thought I would share them.

Thanks
Darren
